Earlier, I blogged about my
latest foray into collard greens. The above is the dish I came up with to have alongside it. I'm not sure why I tend to make
towers of
food when I get creative in my kitchen, but welcome the repetition since every one has turned out so darned good.
This one came about because I didn't have time to thaw anything big, had no bread, and didn't want to have a salad for the third day in a row. So, the one thing I could thaw quick came out of the freezer, sausage, and a small, leftover chunk of cheese came out of the fridge.
I lined a bowl with foil to make sure the potato wouldn't stick (make sure it's oven safe!), then coated the bottom and sides of the bowl with non-stick spray, and then the mashed potatoes. This created a bowl that I put my sauteed, chopped elk sausage and cheese in, before topping with more potatoes, covering with foil, and throwing it in my toaster oven for a bit to melt the cheese. When the greens were done, I took it out, opened the foil, flipped it onto a plate, and peeled the foil away.
It was quick, easy, and quite delicious paired with the collard greens. I think kidlets making mashed tater mountains have the right idea!
