First Baptist Church will be hosting the Sunday Supper at St. Andrew’s Church on August 30. The menu is Chicken and Rice Casserole and volunteers are needed to prepare the casseroles. Find the recipe below.
The casseroles should be brought HOT to the Coburg street entrance between 3:00 and 3:15.
The guests of the Sunday Supper are really counting on this boost of food support each week! If interested in helping please contact the church office. There will also be a sign up sheet, as well as the roasting pans and recipes, at the back of the church. We are hoping to prepare 18 or more casseroles.
These meals are an important way for our church community to provide a hot meal for people experiencing hardship and who would otherwise go without dinner in our city.
Shepherd’s Pie
Ingredients
– 4 lbs of medium or lean ground beef
– (1) 540ml can of lentils, drained
– 2 kg of frozen, mixed vegetables
– 2 envelopes of onion soup mix
– 3 cups of milk
– 8 lbs of potatoes, cooked and mashed with:
– 1 cup of milk, butter/margarine to taste & salt + pepper
Instructions
In a large pan, brown the ground beef, drain the excess fat, and return to heat. Add in lentils. Add onion soup mix and milk.
Cook the mixed vegetables for 3 minutes less than the instructions on the package. Drain the vegetables, mix them with the meat mixture, and place everything in a greased tinfoil roaster, evenly spread out.
Boil the potatoes. When soft, drain and mash with the milk, and butter/margarine mixture. Spread potatoes over the meat mixture and dot with butter/margarine. Bake at 350°F until the potatoes are lightly browned on top, or gravy begins to bubble through (approx. 1 hour, may take longer if cooked from cold). Cover with greased tinfoil for transport.
Remember to bring it hot!
