Meat:
2 pounds ground beef
4 eggs
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
1 teaspoon granulated onion
½ teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons ketchup
Potato Mixture:
10 potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
½ cup (1 stick) margarine
¼ cup non-dairy creamer
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon paprika
Mushroom Mixture (optional):
1 pound mushrooms, sliced
2 teaspoons oil
Onion Topping (optional):
2 onions, sliced
2 tablespoons oil
½ teaspoon sugar
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix together all the ingredients in the meat mixture and layer across the bottom of a 9×13-inch pan. If using mushrooms, sauté mushrooms in oil and spread across meat mixture. In the meantime, place potatoes in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and reduce heat. Simmer until potatoes are soft – about 20 to 30 minutes. Drain and mash with margarine, non-dairy creamer and salt. Spread potatoes atop meat and mushroom mixture and sprinkle with paprika. If using onion, sauté onions over low to medium heat until lightly browned – about 10 minutes. Add sugar and sauté 5 minutes more. Spread across the top of the potatoes. Bake, uncovered for 1-1/2 hours.
