Jill, Yikes, I hate tomato sauce and ketchup on anything.
But I made this wee experiment and used up all the extra stuff in my fridge.
All in all wasn't too bad. The bechamel sauce was ok with the put together
hamburger, onions, celery, mushrooms etc. I did find it was a little bit
soggy and had to keep draining off the grease - upped the temperature for
the last half hour.
I think the mashed potatoes really helped - t'would make a good shepherd's
pie - was good, but probably I won't make it again................burp!
Yes, should probably invest in a grinder thingy - are they really only $119?
