  • 1 to 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves

  • 1 1/3 oz. (1/3 cup) crumbled garlic and herb feta cheese
  • 1/3 cup pitted kalamata olives, sliced
  • 1/3 cup chopped seeded tomato
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 375°F. In large bowl, combine ground beef, bread crumbs, garlic, oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt and egg; mix well. Divide mixture evenly into 8 ungreased muffin cups. Pat in bottom and up sides of each cup to form crust.
  • 2
    In medium saucepan, prepare potatoes as directed on package using water, milk, margarine and salt. Add feta cheese; stir gently to mix. Fill beef-lined cups with potato mixture.
  • 3
    Place cookie sheet on oven rack below muffin pan in case of spillover. Bake at 375°F. for 15 to 20 minutes or until beef is thoroughly cooked. Remove cups from pan; place on individual serving plates. Sprinkle with olives, tomato and onions.

  • Shepherd's pie is a classic savory pie traditionally prepared from leftovers. Meat and vegetables are moistened with gravy, transferred to a pie plate, and topped with mashed potatoes. The pie is so named because it was often prepared with lamb or mutton.
  • Assemble the meat cups; cover and refrigerate for up to a day. Uncover the meat cups and bake, adding 3 to 5 minutes to the baking time.
  • Accompany this recipe with fresh steamed green beans, and bread and butter. Serve sliced melon for dessert.
