Cottage Pie

What's the difference between Cottage Pie and Shepherd's Pie? The former uses ground beef while the latter uses ground lamb. Otherwise, same thing. Meat, vegetables, gravy, mashed potatoes... ultimate comfort food!

Spinach and Artichoke Lasagna

A while back I wanted lasagna, but I didn't own any ground beef or tomatoes or anything else to make traditional lasagna. I did, however, have a bunch of stuff I originally intended to use for a variation on a Greek pie. Well, what the heck... I like white lasagna, so let's see what happens! As it turns out, it was fabulous, and it freezes really well as a bonus.

Hamburger Stroganoff

You know those foods from your youth that are the ultimate in comfort food? This is one of mine. The amount of ground beef used to vary depending on how much money we had, and sometimes there was more pasta than others, but the taste was always the same. Pure comfort.
