Pate Chinois Casserole
"A French Canadian dish that goes way back to the railroads being built by Chinese immigrants- according to what I am told. This dish was easy and inexpensive so this is what they ate. This is another dish that is commonly prepared up in the Northern Quebec region."

Made this recipe but made one small alteration. Since no one in my family likes creamed corn, I used 1 can creamed corn and 2 cans regular corn which I drained the liquid from. The added sweetness from the creamed corn added an interesting flavor to this dish that we know as Shepherds Pie...a common dish in New England. I will definitely make this again- especially on nights when I am craving a good old comfort food meal. Thanks for posting this recipe Amy. Made and reviewed for Spring PAC 2010

I love to cook- but not for the fun of it. I cook with a purpose! And that is to cook great tasting food for anyone who comes to my table.
I live in Canada now, but am a native of Florida. I love southern food, and european food. I am up for anything that tastes great! I am married to a french canadian and I have found a lot of great recipes from living here.
