Mrs. Bontrager's Potato Hamburger Vegetable Casserole

Take some potatoes, make mashed potatoes out of them and then line them around the perimeter of this recipe. Yum!

By Kevin Williams

This is another one of these recipes that I am sharing from a collection of recipes from Buchanan County, Iowa.  This is a hearty casserole, one I could easily envision being prepared for a barn-raising meal or a Sunday supper.   Casseroles are hugely popular with Amish moms because you can easily make them in large, spoonable quantities, perhaps for a house full of growing, hungry children.  A casserole like this is perfect, especially during the summer months because they can just harvest most of the ingredients from their garden, use some fresh hamburger that they have on hand and get cooking!  Good stuff, no need to fix a side vegetable.  SIGH, I like bread with just about everything, so some crust bread to sop this in would be a plus!
