Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Notes:
1)you can substitute sweet potatoes for regular potatoes.
2)You can substitute ground turkey or ground pork for the beef.
3) you can substitute a 16oz package frozen mixed vegetables for the canned corn.
4) The pan sizes can be changed to your needs. We use 1 9x13 and 1 8x8 or divide it up using 4x8 aluminum throw away loaf pans for two people. Any pan size pans can be used as long as the square inch area is near the original total. Pans should be about 2 inches deep. The meat mixture will be 3/4 to 1 inch deep and the potatoes about the same.
5) We double and triple the recipe often.
