Description: 

A flavorful beef and vegetable mixture, topped with mashed potatoes and cheddar cheese, baked until hot

Yield: 

6-8 servings

Ingredients: 

1 pound ground beef
1 large onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
3 cups mixed vegetables, either frozen, canned, or leftover*
4 cups (approximately) mashed potatoes (made from about 8 potatoes)
8 ounces (2 cups) shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup whole milk

Instructions: 

1. Brown ground beef with onion, pepper, and garlic. Drain grease.

2. In a large bowl, combine the meat, crushed red pepper, salt, pepper, and mixed vegetables.

3. Grease a (deep) 10-inch glass pie plate. (You could also use an 8-inch square glass dish.) Spread the meat and vegetable mixture in the dish. Top with a layer of the mashed potatoes, sealing to the edges. Sprinkle cheddar cheese on top.

4. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Just before baking, pour milk over cheese. Bake for 35-45 minutes, until pie is hot and cheese is lightly browned.

*I like to use a mixture of corn, cut green beans, green peas, and chopped (cooked) carrots

Preparation Time: 

45 minutes (if using all fresh ingredients) or 10 minutes (if using leftover ingredients)

Cooking Time: 

35-45 minutes

Tammy's Review: 

This is a delicious Shepherd's Pie recipe! I got the original recipe from my friend Sheri T. It's very yummy, and also extremely easy to make when using leftover ingredients. I like to freeze my leftover mashed potatoes (or make extras) or mixed veggies, and then when I happen to have all of the ingredients somewhat "handy", put it together for a meal. My rating: 10/10.

Excellent!

This is a very tastey meal that can be made from leftovers. How much better can it get? We like to make it for Sunday afternoons so it can bake while we're at church.
