Quick and Easy Hotdish

This is a holdover from my days as a child, modified slightly to suit my family’s tastes. It truly is very easy to throw together at the last minute. I bake mine in my Pampered Chef Deep Dish Baker and lid.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 pound lean ground meat

1 medium onion, diced

4-6 medium red potatoes (enough for approximately one inch layer)

2 cups water

1 bouillon cube

1 tablespoon (give or take a smidge) flour

2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (fresh work too, but take a little more effort)

The fun part

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees.

2. Heat oil in pan. Add meat and onion until browned. While meat is cooking, slice potatoes and place them in the bottom of the dish.

3. Once meat is cooked, add water and bouillon cube and heat to boiling before whisking in the flour. (I push the meat to the side of the pan while whisking.)

4. Stir in the vegetables, and then pour the entire mixture over the potatoes.

5.  Bake approximately 45 minutes or until potatoes are tender.

6. Enjoy!
