One thing I can’t stand is soggy nachos!! They aren’t suppose to be soggy. If your using olives they have to be squeezed really well of their water. Tomatoes are excellent on nachos but don’t cook them on the nachos. Throw some optop when serving! They will make the chip soggy fast. I have to make a big batch of nachos cause my family loves them. I do 3 layers. Everything on each layer. Bake in a preheated oven 425F for about 10minutes. We serve sour cream and salsa on the side. Once in a while will have some guacamole too.
I bake these in individual cast iron skillets so everyone gets to make/have their own nachos.

Mix all together. Very well. Instead of making a loaf I wanted to use my oyster cast iron pan. I sure love this pan! I made a flattened circle with meat at bottom of bowl and decided into 12 pieces so they would be all pretty even.

We enjoyed this. I made some meatballs with sausage, ground beef, onions, & loads of spices. Cooked a box of large pasta shells up. I laid out all the noodles flat and filled them with a raw meatball then with a little cheddar, parm on-top & crushed chilis.

I used my cast iron wok for this but you can use a casserole dish as well. Take your favorite pasta sauce and start layering pan. Starting with sauce at the bottom then layer of noodles, repeat until all gone

We grew up in Moncton New Brunswick. We grew up eating Shepard’s Pie. Ground beef, corn, mashed. It was a staple. I only learned about this recipe when I moved to Alberta. We much prefer this. It’s pretty simple and easy to prepare.
4CUPS garlic cheesey mashed potatoes
1 ½ lbs ground beef
1 onion, diced
2CUPS frozen peas & carrots
2 garlic cloves, minced
2TBSP unbleached all purpose flour
1TBSP tomato paste
1 c beef stock
2TSP Worcestershire
1TSP thyme sprigs
1/2TSP salt or to taste

Preheat oven to 400F.
Cook your beef over medium heat until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet.
Add the vegetables and garlic to the beef juices in the pan. Cook until soft, 7-10 min.
Add the tomato paste and flour. Stir until the flour is completely moistened.
Return the cooked beef to pan. Add the stock, Worcestershire sauce, and thyme. Simmer until the gravy thickens.
Transfer the meat mixture into a cast iron pan. Spoon the mashed potatoes over the meat mixture.
Place the dish in the oven at 400F and cook for 20-30 min or until the top is golden.
Let stand 5-10 min before serving.
