May 2021

Fried up onions, shallots, a large clove of fresh garlic, a little 'whats this here' sauce, A-1. When cooked lightly, added 1 lb of hamburg.

Boiled up fresh carrots, frozen corn and peas. Boiled and drained 2 cans of sliced potatoes.

Return the potatoes to the pot....add sour cream, couple of splashes of 1/2 and 1/2, butter, chive, and seasonings. Smashed...not whipped. Layer the burger in the bottom of my casserole dish. Added 2 jars of Heinz Bistro au Jus. Add the veggies, and top with the potatoes.

My dinner menu is locked for the next 4 days....

Your post inspired me!

I knew a guy who was working at the Seattle Marie Callendar's when they came in to close it. FuzzyRabbit May 2021 #22
