It's Ladd's birthday, so Ree Drummond makes his dream dinner. She creates a Guajillo Chili Pot Roast with a side of Creamy Rustic Mashed Potatoes that's topped with Chili Herb Cowboy Butter. Instead of a cake for dessert, Ree bakes decadent chocolate Chuckwagon Brownies. While Ladd spends the afternoon feeding cattle in the snow, Ree cooks the perfect cowboy birthday dinner.
Ree Drummond's driving to town, but dinner's all ready to go when she gets home! There's a great Shepherd's Pie made from a hearty Beef Stew with Beer and Paprika, covered in a thick layer of Horseradish Mashed Potatoes. To serve on the side, there's a kit for Roasted Carrots with Vinaigrette, and for dessert, a stunning Raspberry Cream Pie.
Topping this comforting dish with potato tots instead of mashed potatoes not only saves you time but makes for a crispy topping that's a nice contrast to the beef filling.
It's not a Thanksgiving meal without fixins, so the contestants have to prepare stuffing, mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce under the watchful eyes of chefs James Briscione and Phillip Gilmour.
