We took the suggestion at the end added some balsamic vinegar
ROADKILL STEAKS (copycat from Texas Roadhouse):
www.justapinch.com/recipes/ma...
GREEK CORN SALAD: www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/f...
SUBBIE SUPPER COTTAGE PIE (MINCE AND TATTIES):
1lb Minced beef (minced lamb)
1 large onion
2 carrots, sliced or chopped
bouillon beef or lamb stock cubes (to taste)
cornflour or gravy browning to thicken
Brown mince meat with onion and drain off excess fat. Add carrots and bouillon cubes and just enough water to cover the meat.
Bring to the boil then turn down heat and simmer till a lot of the water has evaporated, this saves on using gravy browning or cornflour to thicken. (The gravy browning does add a bit of colour)
While that is cooking, make enough potatoes for the family. Boil, then mash, using butter until creamy.
When all is ready, use a draining spoon and place the minced meat in a casserole dish, (you don't want too much gravy in it now (keep gravy for serving).
Layer the minced meat at the bottom and top off with the mashed potatoes. We use a fork to smooth out the potatoes. Add cheddar cheese to taste. (or any cheese you fancy)
If everything is just made and its hot, you can broil for approx 10 minutes until golden brown.
Alternatively, this can be pre-made then cooled and heated up in oven at 180c (350F) for approx 35 - 45 minutes until hot and bubbly.
This is served with vegetables of your choice, generally here we use turnip (swede), garden peas or green beans and one other veg of choice.
A jug with gravy is usually set down to top off
This recipe can be tweaked according to taste. You can add a tablespoon or more of tomato puree or herbs of choice.

[@deeferry6520]

Great recipes again. Thrilled that you enjoyed the recipe and loved the adaptations, I'll try it that way too x

[@MandyintheMaking]

Thank you so much, Dee! We thoroughly enjoyed it and it's a real pleasure to meet and get to know you from across the pond! 💕💕

[@deeferry6520]

I'm still searching through the food network site for the recipe for the greek corn salad, I'll end up re-watching your video and typing it into word at the same time lol. Pleasure getting to know you and your family x

[@saharasanford9929]

Dee Ferry That recipe looked delicious and I can’t wait to try it!

[@lindatraver3713]

Uhg!!!

[@maedelorme]

Love these! You should do a week of your son's favorite dinners, and film him taking the first bite and what he thinks. 😊

[@ashley5201986]

I don't think he really wants to be on the camera. I could be wrong though.

[@maedelorme]

@@ashley5201986 Oh, hm, hes been on before a few times. Well, it would still be cool to see the meals either way. :)

[@MandyintheMaking]

I wish he would!! He's been funny about being on camera lately!!

[@AprilNewlyMe]

Hey Mandy. Love your ”what's for dinners” girl. I swear you should be on the food network. Great video as always!

Gracie steals the show!

[@mojo843]

My goodness! Give this woman a damn show. I can't pass by not one of her thumbnails. Food looks so good. Go Mandy!

[@patriciaharding7468]

Mandy - if you make the pasta pomodoro again you will find if you adequately salt your pasta water (it should be as salty as sea water) and save out about a 1/2 cup of the pasta water to use to add a small amount to your tomato mixture as needed, it will work with the cheese and tomatoes to help make the most wonderful silky sauce. (I never knew about this until a few years ago, but it is how Italians do it and it's amazing how that works!)

[@Rj-ov7zd]

Thanks Mandy been watching your show from the beginning and we do mother/daughter bonding night watching your show, we love how you have family around you too.

[@pennyrex9493]

I would eat the corn salad as a meal. It looks so so good.

[@MandyintheMaking]

It was!! I can't wait to make it again!

[@pjl2963]

[@vikkibyington989]

So the Subbie is basically what we would call a Shepherds Pie. I’ve never tried Shepherds Pie......maybe I will try this.

[@nancycullen1360]

I was thinking the same, very similar to my Shepherds Pie recipe but better!!

[@MandyintheMaking]

It was amazing! You should definitely give it a try!

[@carolinejohn4537]

@@MandyintheMaking FYI .....the only difference between Shepherd's Pie and Cottage Pie is Shepherd's Pie is done worth minced lamb and Cottage Pie is done with minced beef. Both really deeeeelish 😋😋😋

Loved this what’s for dinner video as I do all the others you do! ❤️your editing skills are amazing and you have such a wholesome family! .. I don’t know if your still taking tips but mine is about iced coffee... so instead of using ice , freeze trays of coffee cubes instead of water and add them to your coffee. So when they melt it will just be extra coffee and not watered down!

[@MandyintheMaking]

Oh that's a great idea! Thank you for that!
