I’ve gotten so many potatoes from the farm this winter and it’s not surprising that without a proper cold storage area some have sprouted. It’s safe to eat them if you cut away the sprouts and any green under the skin. I also found some corn in the freezer from the summer harvest and some ground beef from Snow Creek Ranch that I picked up at one of the Farmers’ Markets this summer.

I love red onion – I simply diced this to add some flavor to the ground beef.

I browned the ground beef in a little extra virgin olive oil with lots of salt and pepper, then added the onions and cooked it until they softened slightly. Then I added 3 tablespoons of flour, cooked that slightly, then added some chicken stock and cooked it until it thickened.
I simmered the corn in a little heavy cream until it thickened and made flavorful mashed potatoes with a little cream, some chicken stock, some butter, and lots of salt and pepper. Then I layered everything in a casserole dish – first beef mixture, then corn, the potatoes next, and a topping of some shredded cheddar cheese. After a 40 minute bake in the oven it was heaven on a plate!
