The Zinc Saucier [that’s me by the way for those of us not paying attention] is hard at it again, but this time I’m making a childhood favourite of mine: Beef Cobbler.
As far as I know mema got this recipe from a cookbook she purchased somewhere in the 70’s or 80’s and she’s been making it ever since. I found my recipe here. But I’ll have to admit that I didn’t follow it religiously, mainly because I didn’t have all the ingredients.
After the jump there are details of what I did differently.
I used ground beef instead of stewing steak and I used 4 times as much meat.
I used less onion and threw in a handful or 2 of chopped mushroom.
Generally mema uses oxtail soup instead of gravy and that’s always delicious.
I forgot to make potatoes until it was too late, so the portions were mostly meat with scones.
The dish I made, if made with potatoes could easily feed 6 or 7 people.
Oh and the recipe doesn’t say this but you have to brush the top of the scones with milk or egg, otherwise they’ll be crunchy on the top without being properly baked all the way through.
If anything I’ve shown the versatility of ground beef and how easy it is make a good meal.
Zinc Saucier out.
Kudos on the Kobbler there Dave
I had no idea you had a blog! WTF, yo?
I’m adding you to my little list on the side.
Also, I don’t know what that is in that photo, but I want some. Guess who’s coming to visit next month? Dennis! Isn’t that exciting?
Ooh. I need ads. Do you earn anything from those Google ads or is it a waste of time and space?
Yeah, I’ve had this thing for ages. Did a 365 last year and everything.

The thing in the picture is beef cobbler, and it’s really easy to make. I’ve been getting really into cooking recently. It’ll fill you the hell up on a winter’s day. Which makes me wonder why I made it in July.
Dennis is actually going to visit and finally get some of that Chicago pizza he refused to shut up about? You’re going to have to document every moment.
It’s by no means a waste, because it’s free to put them up, but I’ve made about 18 dollars in 15 months, and they don’t pay out until you hit 100 dollars.
Worth it… not really, but it does very slowly earn money. If you were getting good traffic, I’d say go for it.
mmm…. looks YUMMY! im makin a 3 course meal for 6 on thurs 🙂
