Mashed Potato Goop (Similar to Shepherd's Pie but Kid Friendly)
"not sure what the original name of this recipe is but we have called it mashed potato goop since we were little kids growing up in a Slavic family and that's kinda what it looks like when it's done.It is a mixture of ground beef, onions(optional), creamed corn,and mashed potatoes."

I made a slight change in the ground beef, in that I use 1 1/2 pounds of the beef & 1/2 pound of mild Italian sausage, crumbled & mixed into the beef! Other than that, I followed the recipe right on down, & had a very tasty main dish that was part of my one-time contribution to a local group that helps feed the homeless! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in this fall's round of Pick A Chef]
