leftover essentials: cheesy chili shepperd’s pie
During the Autumn/Winter seasons I make a lot of stews, chilies, casseroles, the lot. I freeze what is left and take it out when the fit takes me. As to chili, there are more things to do than just put it in a bowl and heat it up. This is an excellent way to use some leftover chili. We are talking about chili, cheese, and taters. What is not to like. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.
