It's 11:20 Saturday night. Tracy isn't back from work yet, Afton's asleep, and Tomorrow is Fast Sunday. I was watching the Food Network, and decided to prep dinner for tomorrow. I'm modifying both recipes to my needs; we'll see how they do. I made the dough for the cobbler and the potatoes for the pie tonight.
I also stole the dough for the peach cobbler from Alton Brown's peach-rhubarb cobbler. (Must attribute my sources!)
Joe's Shepherd's Pie:
1/2 lb ground beef
1 pound ground sausage
1 14. oz. can green beans
1 14 oz. can whole corn kernels
1 4 oz. can mushrooms
chopped dried onion
mashed potatoes
shredded cheese
In a medium to heavy pan, brown the beef and pork. Add the dried onions, and some garlic, if desired. Once browned, drain, and mix in the mushrooms, also drained. Mix in the vegetables.
In whatever size casserole pan/dutch oven/whatever this fits in, place the meat and vegetables on the bottom, cover thickly with the potatoes, and top with shredded cheese, if desired. Bake at 400 until the mashed potatoes and cheese are golden brown.
Peach Cobbler
2 cups of flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 stick butter
1/4 stick shortening
Sliced fresh, or canned peaches
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup sugar
Mix the flour, sugar and salt. Cut in the butter and shortening just until mixed. Place in a stand blender and blend at the lowest setting. Slowly sprinkle water (1 to 3 tablespoons) until the mixture starts to come together and can hold a shape. Place in a ziploc bag, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
While the dough is chilling, mix the peaches with 1 cup sugar and the cinnamon to form a nice syrup.
Tear off about 1/3 of the dough from the bag. Take this part and pinch off pieces. more or less cover the bottom of a 9x9 pan with them. Spoon or gently pour the peaches on top. While still in the bag, roll the dough out into a sheet. Cut the bag open, and place the dough on top of the peaches, pushing it in. Bake at 375 degrees 25 to 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.

Yum, I can't wait!
Mmmm...it does sound good!
Man, I wish I lived near you guys & could come over and eat your food again. I miss that! Guess it's frozen pizza at our house again... :(
You should note, Amy, that this time its me doing all the cooking, not Becka.
Also, I wish we lived near each other so Shane and I could climb together.
PS. The shepherd's pie recipe should include a can of cream of mushroom soup, mixed with one of water, mixed on the stove, and mixed in with the ground beef/sausage mix before the potatoes go on top.
