Ground Beef Shepherd’s Pie

Shepherd’s Pie is one of my husband’s favorite meals.  In fact, he requested it for his birthday dinner this year!  While Shepherd’s Pie is traditionally made with ground lamb, I think you’ll enjoy it with ground beef.  It’s a hearty meal all in one dish!

Bierocks (also known as cabbage burgers by my husband’s family) are considered a German treat around these parts.  They are rolls filled with a combination of ground beef, cabbage, and onions.  Bierocks freeze exceptionally well, so be sure to make extra to have some around for later!

Slow Cooked Pot Roast

Growing up, my sister and I had any choice we wanted for our “birthday meal” on the day we celebrated our birthday.  It was always the same thing… homemade fried chicken, mashed potatoes & gravy, corn, and some variation of a jello salad.  We only ate homemade fried chicken twice a year.  Why…
