For something different while on the road, you can make a yummy Shephard’s Pie with ingredients that don’t require refridgeration – except the ground beef, of course!
Most RV’s have storage for canned/boxed food. When planning on what to take on your trip, why not have a few things in stock to make something different than bar-b-queing everything. Especially if it’s a cold or rainy day.
Everyone has different recipes for this – lots of variations – but here’s what we do:
Ingredients:
1# ground beef
1/2 (or more) chopped onion
1 large can vegetable beef soup
1 can of beef gravy
1 pouch instant mashed potatoes
1 can corn (or other canned veggie)
Instructions:
Begin browning the ground beef. When 1/2 way done add the chopped onion. Cook until the meat is cooked through and onion is soft. Be sure to take out the grease – we always have a grease can in the freezer to keep things neat.
Once the meat is cooked and grease taken out – add the can of soup. Put a lid on the mixture and let it cook for … hmmm … how hungry are you? … maybe 1/2 – 1 hour. What you’re doing is trying to get all the flavours blended and the soupy part reduced a bit.
Then add the gravy and heat through.
In the meantime, drain and put the canned veggies in the bottom of an oven-proof dish. Top this with the meat/soup/gravy combination. Top it off with the mashed potatoes – cooked to the package instructions.
When all put together, pop it in the oven and cook for … 1/2 – 1 hour. You only want to really heat it up as it’s mostly already cooked.
Yum!
