Preparation Procedure - Fill a small and medium sauce pan each
to 3/4 full of water, and put each on stovetop set on high.
- Peel potatoes, cut into 1” pieces, and
put in medium saucepan to boil.
- Sauté chopped onion in oil or butter
over medium heat until translucent in a skillet.
- Crush garlic with a garlic press and
add to onion.
- Add a “splash” (1 T.) of chicken broth
into onions and garlic mixture. You can add more if the mixture gets dry.
- Add ground beef and stir while it's
browning.
- While the beef is browning, add bone
dust spice, Worcestershire, and thyme. Stir to ensure nothing sticks to
the pan.
- When meat is browned, add 1/2 cup of
broth to the mixture, along with the mushroom gravy pack. Stir until it is
mixed through and beginning to thicken a bit.
- At this point, add the corn to the
boiling water in the small saucepan; reduce heat to low.
- When potatoes are boiled until soft,
drain, mash, and add milk (alt., substitute chicken broth) (season to
taste). Reserve. When corn is heated through, drain and reserve.
- Grease an 8”x8” baking dish and put
beef mixture in the bottom, pressing it down evenly.
- Add an even layer of corn on top of the
beef.
- Carefully add the mashed potatoes on
top and smooth the surface.
- Place in oven (preheated to 350°F) for
20 minutes.
- Serve hot.
Conversion Practice - If an existing recipe yield is 30 portions, but the yield you need is 60 portions, what is the conversion factor? _____
- A recipe requires 6 pounds of chicken and 40 fluid ounces of teriyaki sauce and has a yield of 20 portions. You need to increase the yield by 5 for tonight’s dinner. What are the new quantities for chicken ______ and the teriyaki sauce _____ ?
- A potato skin recipe yields 8 portions and requires 12 potatoes, 10 strips of bacon, and 8 ounces of cheddar cheese. Using the total yield conversion method, change the recipe to yield 36 portions:
______ potatoes
