For a casual dinner or snack, make a batch of mini shepherd's pies. It's a fun project for the kids to help with!
Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 garlic clove, minced
1/3 cup chili sauce or ketchup
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1-1/4 cups water
3 ounces cream cheese, cubed
3 tablespoons butter
1-1/4 cups mashed potato flakes
2 tubes (6 ounces each) small refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
1/2 cup crushed potato chips
paprika, optional
Directions
In a large skillet, cook and crumble beef with onion and garlic over medium heat until no longer pink, 5-7 minutes; drain. Stir in chili sauce and vinegar.
In a small saucepan, combine water, cream cheese and butter; bring to a boil. Remove from heat; stir in potato flakes.
Press each biscuit onto bottom and up sides of a greased muffin cup. Fill with beef mixture; top with mashed potatoes. Sprinkle with potato chips.
Bake at 375° until topping is golden brown, 20-25 minutes. If desired, sprinkle with paprika.
