Snowman Party Stew
Prep Time: 30 Minutes
Cook Time: 15 Minutes Ready In: 45 Minutes
Yields: 6 servings

"Youngsters will dig right into this playful potato-topped pie, loaded with ground beef and vegetables. The dashing details are easy to add after baking."
INGREDIENTS:
1 pound ground beef
1 (16 ounce) package frozen stew vegetables,
divided
1 (10.25 ounce) can beef gravy 2 cups hot mashed potatoes (prepared with a
small amount of milk)
16 whole black peppercorns
1/4 cup ketchup

DIRECTIONS:
1. In a skillet, brown beef; drain. Remove 24 peas and one carrot chunk from the stew vegetables; set aside. Add the remaining vegetables to beef. Cook until vegetables are thawed. Add gravy; mix well. Pour into an ungreased 9-in. pie plate. Top with eight mashed potato snowmen, using 1 tablespoon of potatoes for each head and 3 tablespoons for each body. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, with a sharp knife, cut the reserved carrot into eight strips. Insert one strip

into each snowman for a nose. Place three reserved peas on each for buttons. Add peppercorns for eyes. Drizzle ketchup between head and body to form a scarf.
