Cowboy Casserole

It is very similar to a cottage  pie. My father always loved cottage pie.  Cottage pie is quite different than Shepherd’s Pie.  A Cottage pie is usually made with beef and a Shepherd’s pie is usually made with lamb. This casserole always goes down a real treat.  It is a little bit different than most Cowboy Casseroles which you may see out there in that I add herbs and vegetables to mine.

I still use the cream soup . . . but  the addition of Worcestershire Sauce, Mushroom ketchup, tomato ketchup really enhances the flavours of this lovely stand by.  It is very like a cottage pie . . . but with a tater tot covering instead of mash. Of course if you are a tinned soup snob you can make a basic cream sauce in its place.

If you keep ground beef, tinned soup and sweet corn, along with frozen tater tots in your store cupboard/freezer . . . then you always have the makings of this delicious and economical casserole ready to go.

This is a real family pleasing meal.  It’s hearty and filling and so very tasty.  I like to make a salad to serve on the side and green beans.  The other night I added some garlic bread as it was a company meal.
