Snowman Party Stew
from: Taste Of Home

* 6-8 Servings
* Prep: 30 min. Cook: 15 min.

Ingredients

* 1 pound ground beef
* 1 package (16 ounces) frozen vegetables for stew, divided
* 1 can (10-1/4 ounces) beef gravy
* 2 cups mashed potatoes (prepared with a small amount of milk)
* 16 whole black peppercorns
* 1/4 cup ketchup

Directions

* In a skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Remove 24 peas and one carrot chunk from the stew vegetables; set aside. Add the remaining vegetables to beef. Cook until vegetables are thawed. Add gravy; mix well.
* Pour into an ungreased 9-in. pie plate. Top with eight mashed potato snowmen, using 1 tablespoon of potatoes for each head and 3 tablespoons for each body. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 20 minutes. Done
* Meanwhile, with a sharp knife, cut the reserved carrot into eight strips. Insert one strip into each snowman for a nose. Place three reserved peas on each for buttons. Add peppercorns for eyes. Drizzle ketchup between head and body to form a scarf. Yield: 6-8 servings.

Editor's Note: If serving small children, remove the peppercorns.


Snow-Day Sandwich's
from: Good Housekeeping

Turn an ordinary lunch into a special occasion with a snowman sandwich. Stamp out six pieces of bread using the rims of different-size glasses. Spread peanut butter on one side of three circles, lay a skewer down the middle, and add top slices. Use cheese spread for the nose and mini chocolate chips for the buttons, eyes, and mouth. Personalize by adding a paper hat and a scarf with your child's name on it.
