1 lb hamburger ($3/lb at Fresh Market on Tuesdays only)
3.5 lb bag of Green Giant potatoes, peeled (10lb bag for around $5.65 at Sam's)
Hellman's Mayonaise
Heaping of I Can't Believe it's Not Butter margarine
Shredded cheddar cheese (5 lb bag of shredded Cheddar around $11 at Sam's; used only 2 cups at most)
1 can of Margaret Holme's Tomatoes, Okra and Corn (80¢ at Wal-Mart at the moment)
1 small pouch of Winn-Dixie Swiss Mushroom Gravy mix (50¢ per pouch)
Some herbs/seasoning (including Celery Seed, Mrs. Dash, and McCormick Garlic and Herb. Note: salt only added to the boiling potatoes step (and not really that much); plenty in the Magaret Holmes Tomatoes, Okra, and Corn so no need to add any more; trust me)
I have a mandolin slicer which I used to slice the potatoes. I boiled the slices thoroughly (salt in the pot too of course) and kept around 20 medallions aside and mashed the rest. For the mashed pototoes, I added a heaping of mayonaise and butter. To the cooked hamburer (drained) I added the herbs/spices and poured a can of the Margeret Holme's and then the gravy mix for thickener and poored all that into the cooking dish. I then spread the mashed potatoes on top of that and spread most of the cheddar cheese on top of the mashed potatoes. I then placed the cooked medallion potato slices on top of that and spinkled a bit more of the cheeze on to top. I baked for 15 minutes and then covered and cooked an additional 30 minutes to complete. I rested the dish for 10 minutes before scouping a dose for me. Then, after I ate the portion (jeeze it was freaking delicious), I decided to take a picture of this for posterity. lol
Guestimate that it costs around $10 total. Completely worth the effort. I wasn't that hungry since I used some of cooked hamburger and poured in on one slice of bread with a slice of American Cheese as a snack an hour prior, so only ate this portion to satisfy my remaining appetite. lol
