Lamb and Cornmeal Bake (Freezer Meal)
By Cynthia Smith
We all crave comfort food on trying days, but often lack the energy to make it for ourselves. Enjoy this frozen casserole whenever you want by preparing it ahead for any occasion!
Ingredients:
Directions:
In a large skillet, cook the lamb, fennel, onion, garlic oregano and pepper until the lamb is completely brown before draining the excess fat. Add the undrained tomatoes to the skillet and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer uncovered for 10 to 15 minutes or until most of the liquid is evaporated stirring occasionally. In the meantime, coat 2 1-1/2 quart casserole dishes with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
Slice each polenta tube in half lengthwise 14 inches thick. Press 1/4 of the slices into the bottom of one of the prepared pans and another 1/4 into the bottom of the second pan. Spoon half of the lamb mixture over the polenta in each of the pans. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of the cheese evenly over each casserole. Arrange the rest of the polenta slices along the edges of the casseroles. Cover the casseroles with plastic and freeze for up to 3 months.
To serve the frozen Lamb and Cornmeal Bake, allow to thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Bake the thawed casserole at 350 degrees for 50 to 60 minutes or until heated through. Allow to cool for 10 minutes. Heat the Italian-style tomato sauce just to boiling to serve over the casserole.
Each Lamb and Cornmeal Bakes yields about 4 servings.

Comfort Food: Hamburgers Patties and Mashed Potatoes
Ingredients and Directions
When anyone talks about comfort food, I think of this meal. The windows were running with steam because it was cold and dark outside, and Gunsmoke was on the radio.
Dredge nice sized hamburgers in flour and brown. Add a good amount of sliced onion salt and pepper everything to taste, and caramelize. Then add a couple of cups of water, cover and steam for at least 20 or more minutes.
Serve with mashed potatoes and corn and/or green beans or salad. The steamed hamburgers and onion and water make a wonderful gravy for your mashed potatoes.

Ingredients
Directions
Put the whole lot into a large bowl and beat the living daylights out of it. Add any flavour you like. If you decide to go down the chocolate road, put one oz cocoa powder on scale and add flour to make up the 8 oz. Bake on the middle oven rack about 20 minutes at mid range heat. (350 Degrees F)
