Tomato Shepherd's Pie

1/2 pound ground beef, 2 cups cooked and diced chicken, or 1 package of hot dogs; diced
1-8 ounce can tomato sauce
1-15 ounce can peas, green beans, whole kernal corn, or other vegetables (drained)
   or 2 cups frozen or fresh vegetables
1-15 ounce or 11 ounce can acceptable Pork and Beans (See below note.)
1/2 teaspoon salt

Note: You will have to make your own pork and beans in tomato sauce to make this gluten-free (unless you know where to buy a gf pork and bean).

If Using Real Potatoes
About 8 medium sized Potatoes
Rice/soy milk for potatoes; amount until creamy
1-2 tablespoons safe margarine

If Using Potato Flakes
3 cups water
1 cup rice/soy milk
1-2 tablespoons acceptable margarine
3 cups potato flakes

Brown ground beef, cook chicken and dice then into small pieces, or dice the hot dogs in pieces
(Cook the hot dogs you are not going to warm the pie in the oven.).  If using frozen or fresh
vegetables, cook them.

For instant potatoes: Boil the water and milk.  Add margarine to liquid.  Add instant potato flakes to
liquid.  For mashed potatoes: add the amount of margarine and milk to the potatoes and mash until
smooth.  Put the potatoes in the bottom of a 13x9 inch baking dish.  Mix tomato sauce, pork and
beans or creamed corn, vegetables, meat, and salt. Place on top of potatoes.  Bake at 350 degrees F.
for 25 to 30 minutes.

If you are in a hurry, warm up the tomato sauce, pork and beans or creamed corn, vegetables, and
meat.  Place on the potatoes.  Serve.
