SEAT OF MY SOUL

This is an easy and fast recipe….I have added vegetables for a bit of variation but it is entirely up to your own taste.

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 3 bacon strips, diced
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/4 teaspoon dried coriander
• 1/2 cup tomato sauce
• 1 can (4-1/4 ounces) chopped ripe olives, drained
• 5-1/2 cups hot mashed potatoes (prepared without milk and butter)
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• 2 tablespoons butter, softened
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh coriander
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Additional butter, melted

Directions

• In a large skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain and set aside. In the same skillet, cook bacon, onion, garlic and oregano until bacon is crisp; drain. Stir in the tomato sauce, olives and beef. Simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes or until heated through.
• Meanwhile, combine the mashed potatoes, eggs, butter, coriander and salt. Spread half of the potato mixture onto the bottom and up the sides of a greased 9-in. pie plate. Layer with beef mixture and remaining potato mixture.
• Bake at 375° for 20 minutes. Brush the pie with melted butter. Bake 10 minutes longer or until top is golden brown. 

ENJOY!!
