Saunders

Mince one pound of under-cooked meat of any kind, moisten with two or three spoonfuls of good gravy, and season with pepper and salt. Spread a layer of mashed potatoes on a dish, put the mince upon them, and cover the whole with mashed potatoes. Rough the surface of the potatoes with a fork, and bake the preparation in a moderate oven. When the top is lightly browned the whole is done enough. Send to table with it in a tureen a little of the same gravy with which it was moistened. Time to bake, half an hour. Probable cost, 6d., exclusive of the cold meat. Sufficient for three or four persons.
