Working all week and not wanting to make meals is something everyone struggles with us included! About a year ago I started thinking we have the meat you need but am burnt out on what I want to make and how long it takes to make a simple meal. So many times I have customers come in to markets and tell me I just don’t know what to make with a particular cut. Never fear I have that answer! As you know we are active on social media and I know for many of you it’s your go to for finding recipes, I have a genius individual that takes a cut of meat and finds a quick unique way to fix this cut, with their mad Video skill they show you step by step how to prep cook and enjoy many of our wonderful cuts of meat. The best part is I have finally figured out how to create a youtube account so you can go back and watch them in detail and helps you pick just the right ingredients.
So everyone has Ground product tucked away in the freezer, its quick, its easy and then you loose your imagination. Trust me been there done that, several times I come back from the farm or the feed mill with the intention of creating a dish that is fun and wholesome. Raise your hand if you end up making hamburgers because you are like yup I have lost my inspiration. Don’t worry our Quarles Farm Cowboy Shepard’s pie is a twist and can be adapted to all our Ground products, Beef, Lamb and Goat! We used Ground Chuck this time as honestly it was at the top of the freezer when we were choosing cuts to feature. Now you’re thinking about having to go out and buy something for this recipe, trust me 90% of you won’t we use things from around the kitchen and what most of you might already have in the freezer or pantry.
Recipe is as Follows!
Ingredients
1 lb Quarles Farm ground chuck or any Quarles Farm Ground Product!
½ yellow onion, diced
1 green pepper, diced
1 can corn (15.25 oz), drained
1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup (10.5 oz)
1 cup cheddar or Mexican blend cheese, shredded
⅓ cup whole milk
¼ cup sour cream
½ tsp onion powder
¼ cup pre-cooked bacon (optional)
32 oz frozen tater tots
Salt
Pepper
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375F.
Start by browning the Quarles Farm ground chuck. Once mostly browned, add in the diced onions and peppers. Let the remaining chuck brown fully and the onions and peppers soften slightly, approximately 3-5 minutes. Carefully, drain the mixture so that no fat remains.
Add the corn, cream of mushroom soup, 1/2 cup cheddar, milk, sour cream, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper to the pot. Mix to combine.
Add the beef to a baking dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle the dish with the bacon. Add the tater tots in rows to completely cover the mixture.
Place the baking dish in the oven and let cook for 45 minutes. After 45 minutes, sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top. Broil for 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and starting to crisp.
Serve with a dollop of sour cream and enjoy!
