Sauteed a sliced onion, two ribs of celery (sliced), and a half pound of sliced mushrooms in butter. When most of the moisture was gone, added a good amount of sherry and some evaporated milk (didn't have any cream). Cooked it down a little bit and added it to some lean browned ground beef, thinly sliced potatoes, and salt and pepper. Popped it all into a casserole dish, dusted with paprika, and baked at 375 for I dunno, 45 minutes? Anyway, major comfort food -- like the Hamburger Helper my mom used to make, but better.

Will have to try this, minus the mushrooms. It sounds wonderful!

That sounds soooooo good! I might have to try it, minus the sherry.

I bought a bottle of sherry to make a recipe of Aahz's, and it turns out to be the first alcohol I've ever cooked with that I didn't hate. I was surprised. I can taste it, but I don't mind it, which is so not the case with every other recipe I've ever tasted with alcohol in it.
