I Always put onion in with the ground beef. Or sautée onion first. And yes we use a mix of cream and regular corn. I went to school in MA growing up and they always called it Chinese Pie. Another fave was American Chop Suey. Best days to go to school.
I actually googled it @EarnIt
Shepherdâs pie - Lamb
Cottage pie - Beef
And Chinese Pie came up beef as well.
Wifey donât like lamb.
I do another cottage pie more on the English side with carrots and onions sautĂ©ed before adding the beef and just mashers. No corn. Itâs pretty good too. Itâs got a tomato paste in the beef makes it saucy.
And we are kind of purest over here. Wifey likes things plain so I donât doctor things up anymore with garlic or curry. But it does sounds good.
Canât wait for leftovers for lunch tomorrow.

I guess you could call it fathers love 
. But if I donât do that there wonât be any dip for me and wifey.
So I guess itâs more like Tuna Dip Love

An old fashioned Dutch winter meal called vijfschaft, something like meal-of-five, the five being potato, carrot, onion, beans and apple. These days of plenty bacon and smokey sausage are added too. Good wholesome food.

Ah! I meant to respond to you earlier and I didnât. It is a lot to take on here, but itâs something Iâve thought about a lot. I have a friend whoâs an academic and researches food systems, culture and history of Mexico and itâs fascinating (heâs also half Mexican, like me, interestingly enough). I think there are more technical terms like the diaspora of people and their foods. I think certain cultures hold tight to food traditions for different reasons, one of which is that it can be not only sustenance for eating but monetarily, as well. Loads of immigrants working in the business of feeding people. Anyway, yeah. Fascinating and could go on and on about it.
P.S. I love cooking with people and have shared all my family recipes - itâs OUR family tradition to share the love and we have folks sending us pics of their versions all the time! I also inevitably get messages asking for recipes again or with questions. What a joy.

Got my cooking chores done for the day! Time to put my feet up. I meant to finish this casserole yesterday, but no matter. Itâs brown rice, chicken, mushroom and broccoli (oh, and cheese, of course) and itâs probably the most massive casserole Iâve ever cooked. Although I think I say that every time. I got tired and skipped the breadcrumb topping, just grated some parmesan on there and apparently it wasnât enough so it didnât brown. I also made dog food supplement of ground turkey and rice. My old man Chucho has been acting hungrier and losing some weight, so they are getting the royal treatment. The cookies Iâve been promising my husband will have to wait.
