Fête du Canada!

Happy Birthday to our neighbors up north!  Originally called Dominion Day, July 1st, 1867, the British Empire united three British Colonies to form the new country of Canada.  It wasn't until 1946 that Canada started celebrating the day as their form of independence, as Canada Day.  Similar to our Fourth of July, Canadian's celebrate Canada Day with parades, carnivals, fireworks, barbeques, parties and concerts.

In honor of Canada Day, Harter House gives you the following recipe for a Canadian staple, Pate Chinois, or better known as Shepherd's Pie.



1 Pound Harter House Ground Beef
1 Can Cream Corn
3 Cups Mashed Potatoes
1 Onion
1/2 Cup Kraft Shredded Cheese

Preheat oven to 350 Degrees
Saute onion in a bit of oil, then add beef and cook until brown.  Add salt and pepper.

Spray a dish with non-stick spray and line bottom with beef/onion mixture.  Cover with cream corn.  Top with mashed potatoes and sprinkle heartily with cheese.

Bake for 30 minutes until cheese and mashed potatoes have lightly brown.

Enjoy!
