So Brandon is out of town for most of the week so we are celebrating by eating dinners the kids like and don't require too much work.

M - Shepherd's Pie (A VERY LARGE batch so we have leftovers), Recipe below
T - Hotdogs & Baked Potatoes with veggies
W - Leftovers for kids, I have a RS dinner to attend.
Th - Eat out (we always do this at least once when Brandon is out of town)
F - Mini Pizzas, our local Grocery store has personal pizza crusts you can buy in both Gluten-free and regular.
S - Leftovers

Anyway, hope you have a good week

SHEPHERD'S PIE
6-7 med potatoes
1 lb hamburger
1 small onion
1 can mushrooms, drained
1 can green beans, drained
1 can Cream of Mushroom Soup or GF recipe at bottom*

1. Preheat oven to 350-degrees
2. Dice Potatoes and cook in a minimum amount of water until tender. Mash.
3. Brown Hamburger with onion in an oven-proof skillet, if possible. Add mushrooms and green beans and mix well. Add Mushroom Soup* and mix well. Cook for a couple of minutes. If you don't have an oven-proof skillet pour into an oven-proof baking dish. Top with Mashed Potatoes leaving a hole in the center to allow the steam to escape.
4. Bake for 30 minutes.

GLUTEN-FREE CREAM OF MUSHROOM SOUP
1 can Mushrooms
1 1/2 tbsp Butter
2 Tbsp Onion, minced
1 1/2 C Milk, divided
1 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
1 Beef Bouillon Cube
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Pepper
1 1/2 Tbsp Cornstarch

1. Drain mushroom, reserving juice in a 2-cup measuring cup. Finely chop mushrooms.
2. Melt butter in a small saucepan. Add onion and chopped mushrooms and saute until onion is tender.
3. Add milk to mushroom juice until you get 1 1/2 c of liquid. Pour all but 1/4 cup into saucepan. Add Worcestershire Sauce, Bouillon Cube, Salt and Pepper. Bring to a boil.
4. Mix Cornstarch with remaining milk and add to sauce. Stir until thickened. Boil for 1 more minute.

Enjoy!
