Tonight's Cook - Shepherd's Pie

rockytopsc

Tonight we cooked up a favorite but for the first time on the BGE. We modified the College Inn receipe by using venison "hamburger" and frozen veggies mix (corn, peas, carrots). Mash potatoes frozen as well for a quick meal. Bought some great bread from the Public Bakery today, Tucan Garlic Loaf Bread. Outstanding and added a little Lawry's Garlic Spread (great stuff) but they don't make it anymore. Here some pics of the great food. Also, ms. rockytopsc (aka Ms. Food Police), and here sidekick were on hand to make sure all food handling procedures and policy were followed! I didn't get busted tonight but the sidekick kept a close eye on me all the time.











Here's the receipe: http://www. collegeinn.com/Recipes.aspx?r=9

I love BBQ and grilling, but I'm ready to start seeing some comfort food.

Rockytopsc,

I have to admit, that is one meal I have never thought of doing on the egg. Looks amazing!

Steve

BENTE

love the food police does she know you call her that here?

if she does you need to get her a policeman's hat :laugh: :cheer:


like that pizza screen looks alot cleaner than mine. did you stop by the resturant store i told you about?

that shepards pie looks alot like the chili cornbread pie



we will have to get together and bring them both or will the food police nix that idea with the travel with hot food....

Cecil

Thanks, love shep pie. Wife and I honeymooned in Bermuda, land of sparkling seas and British pubs.

What are your thoughts on Phil?

An Egg Downunder

That is a great-looking pie. But it's a cottage pie - not a Shepherd's pie - because there's no sheep (eg lamb)in it!

Beanie-Bean

That sounds like a nice recipe to do on the egg...question about the garlic spread: What will you use when your supply is gone? Can you recommend an alternate?

Thanks,

rockytopsc

Time to go, like Tommy B.

rockytopsc

I agree, gotta get ready for when there's a slight chill in the air here in the Upstate.

rockytopsc

Thank you Sir. It was great!

rockytopsc

It's an easy one pot meal we normally cook on the open fire while camping.

rockytopsc

She does since she's probably called worse when she checks out kitchens at her buildings. May have to get one after Halloween at Party City. Yes sir I did stop at the restaurant store. They told me to stop drooling on everything or leave. Bought the screen and the "small" pizza peel, not the 6' version. :laugh:
Chili and cornbread, not much more to ask for than that dish! She's fine with traveling with hot food since we want have to stop at any of the roadblocks, etc.

Later, y'all have fun at eggtoberfest!

rockytopsc

whatever you call it's good. Guess the folks at College Inn don't know either.

rockytopsc

I have a few bottles left but have experimented a little with some recipes I've found online. Basically a butter/garlic spread. We just got hooked on the Lawry's spread.

rockytopsc

Also, tried some of the Publix lump w/ this cook. Seemed to work ok.
