Preparation

Peel and cut potatoes into 1/2 inch (1.5 cm) pieces and cook in salted boiling water until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and combine with corn.

Beat together eggs and milk just until blended.

In large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat cook ground beef, onion and garlic until beef is no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Drain well. Season with salt, thyme and pepper.

Divide meat mixture between three 8-inch (20 cm) square baking dishes. Divide potato corn mixture over the meat.

Wipe skillet. Pour egg and milk mixture into skillet. Add 1 cup (250 mL) Cheddar cheese. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is medium thick. Pour over dishes. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and paprika over each.
