Here is how you make Rancher's Pie:

1. CookingA. Prepare the lentils if you are cooking from dry - boil for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cover when not stirring.B. Boil the potatoes, approximately 30 minutes or until soft enough to mash.C. Saute the canned mushrooms in a non-stick pan for a few minutesD. Brown the stew meat in a skillet, then add in French Onion Soup. Bring to boil, then reduce heat to medium low and cook until meat is done.E. Steam the cauliflower following package instructionsF. When all of the above is done, start pre-heating your oven at 350.2. Chopping and MixingA. In a food processor or blender, chop/mix the mushrooms and lentils. (A necessary step to hide the healthy food from your kids.) Add the resultant mix to the french onion soup/meat and mix. Pour the meat mixture into the bottom of a large casserole dishB. Drain the can of corn and pour on top of the meat mixture. Don't mix - this should form a layer.C. Back to the food processor - chop the cauliflower finely. Add to a bowl with the potatoes, and mash them. Add the spread, mix, and season to taste. Add the mashed potatoes and cauliflower to the casserole dish on top of the corn.D. Add the shredded cheese to the top of the mashed potatoes3. Cook: Put the casserole dish in the oven for at least fifteen minutes or until the cheese is melted. If you have patience, more time will allow the potatoes to get more crusty and the flavors to mix.Serving Size: Makes 10 good servingsNumber of Servings: 10Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user THEGAWAINE.
