To Roast Garlic:
1. Cut the top off of all the individual cloves of the head, keeping the entire head of garlic intact.
2. Place in a square of aluminum foil that will be large enough to wrap the entire head & enclose it.
3. Drizzle olive oil over the top & sprinkle with a pinch of kosher salt.
4. Wrap the garlic in the foil & place in 350°F oven for 1 hour.
For Main Dish:
1. Cut potatoes into roughly bite sized pieces, close to the same size. Place potatoes in a large stock pot & cover with enough water to just barely cover the potatoes.
2. Bring to a boil & reduce heat to medium & simmer for approximately 10-15 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender.
3. Remove the potatoes from the water, but place them back into the still warm pot. Add butter & milk, & mash with either potato masher or electric hand mixer until it begins to smooth but is still quite lumpy.
4. Add parmesan & continue to mash until you reached the desired consistency. Add parsley on top for garnish & enjoy.

Peel your potatoes & put them on to boil. While they’re cooking, dice up the onion & cook it & the hamburger in a deep frying pan. Once the hamburger & onion is completely cooked, add the can of corn & can of tomato soup & mix well. Put the hamburger mixture into a pre-greased casserole dish & set aside. Heat your oven to 425°F.

Once the potatoes are cooked (20 – 30 minutes), mash them up & add however much butter, milk, salt & pepper that you like in your mashed potatoes. You could also add garlic. Once your mashed potatoes are done, spoon them evenly over the top of the casserole. Dab the potatoes with a bit of melted butter & put your dish in the oven for 20 – 25 minutes until the soup is bubbling up the side.

1. Cook the steaks to your personal taste. Use the meat tenderizer, garlic powder, & baked potato seasoning to season to taste. Cut up the steaks in bite sized pieces.
2. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
3. In a decent sized oven safe bowl, mix 1-2 containers of Breakstone’s sour cream or other premium brand (Note: Many brands have been experimented with & the cheaper stuff just doesn’t bake as well), the brown sugar (may add more to reach a nice caramel color), & a good shaking of garlic powder.
4. Mix in the steak bites & put into the preheated oven for 45 minutes or until the top is a nice golden brown color.
5. In the microwave, “bake” the potatoes (usually takes around 6 minutes) then put them into the oven with the steak mix.
6. About 2 minutes before done, put the corn into a bowl with a decent amount of butter & microwave for 2 minutes.
7. When finished, put then baked potatoes into small bowls & open them up, softening up the insides. Put a decent amount of corn & butter in, then top off with the steak mixture. Enjoy heaven in a bowl!

Chef’s Note:
If you want to make Shepherd’s Pie, use lamb mince instead of beef & use 3 tsp lamb gravy instead of the beef browning.
