Recently I was house sitting for my cousin in Washington DC. I was inspired to create this provocative meal from a photo my sister in-law sent. Great idea for portion control.
The big decision I had to make was whether to go for a more bread-like base or a true meaty base. Being the carnivore that I am, I went for meaty. I was thinking it would be a meal not just filler. Try using sweet potatoes or add garlic to the mashed potatoes. Kids would love these don’t you think?
