Today I made a Shepherd's Pie for myself and Audrey (Bryan won't eat this!). I've actually never eaten a Shepherd's Pie before, but it looked really simple and yummy. I know that there are a LOT of variations of Shepherd's Pie out there. Some people don't use any meat, some use tomato sauce, etc. So I just made up a version that sounded the best to me. Now, unfortunately when I cook I don't use a lot of exact measurements. I tend to eyeball and decrease and increase ingredients as it looks appealing to me, but you'll get the general idea here.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Brown some ground beef (about two nice sized patties worth) with a bit of chopped onion and season as you prefer (I used garlic powder, salt and black pepper).
Make a large batch of mashed potatoes (or use leftovers if you have them).
Drain ground beef and mix with one bag of frozen mixed veggies.
Pour beef and veggie mixture evenly into a greased casserole dish (I just use stick butter to grease the dish).
Layer mashed potatoes on top of the beef/veggie mixture.
Sprinkle a thick layer of shredded cheese (I used Colby Jack) on top of potatoes.
Pour approximately a 1/2 cup of milk over the cheese.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 35-40 minutes (cheese will start to brown).
Serve and Enjoy!!
Unfortunately, I didn't serve it up very prettily, so I don't have a picture with all of the layers, but you get the idea!!
