There's no need to choose between shepherd's pie and beef Stroganoff, thanks to this simple skillet dinner, which combines a creamy mushroom-and-beef filling with a smooth, buttery potato topping.
This recipe is a family favourite. It is very easy to make.
For another appetizer, look for edamame (fresh soybeans) in the freezer section of the grocery store or Asian market.
I like this as you can just pop into the oven and you often have most of the ingredients on hand.
Plump pork sausages, crispy Yorkshire pud and a rich onion gravy come together to make this family favourite.
An everlasting favourite of children, this dish is known and loved by most British people as sausages (the toad) cooked in Yorkshire pudding batter (the hole). But it wasn’t always so. In 1861, Mrs. Beeton described a version that used steak and kidney instead of sausages, while other early recipes called for cheap offcuts or leftovers of any kind of meat . The Art of Cookery (1747) even includes a recipe for “pigeon in a hole.” Sausages became integral to toad in the hole during World War I – perhaps as a way to
stop them exploding in the pan when frying – and the dish rapidly became a national hit.
This an great recipe for left over turkey meat and mashed potatoes with an exotic twist.
