I found this in a magazine in the waiting room while I was waiting for Mom1 while she was in a doctors appointment. Ps) the cardiologist gave her the thumbs up for a strong heart.
Ingredients1 qt ground beef (approx 1.5 lbs cooked)

We served ours with a side salad but some folks serve their with a side of beans.

Again, even if you have the most basic of preps you can make this dish. Also, it is a good dish to cook in a solar cooker since it won't alert anyone that you are eating since the potatoes cover the scent pretty good. You can make any variation you like with this from spicy to mild, or substitute pasta instead of rice, or even add some condensed soups or gravy mixes to it. This just gives you a kickoff point for making something with your preps.
Keep Prepping and Happy Eating!
That looks really tasty! Do you have a recipe for Shepherds Pie?
