shepherd's pie

ah the ultimate comfort food
shepherd's pie
warm, savory, delicious

with the cooler weather this week i decided it was time to bust out the comfort food recipes. so, here is my number 1 comfort food

shepherds pie

ingredients:
ground beef (approximately $6 worth or one of the smaller size containers they sell. if you use more beef, just use more vegetables and potatoes to keep the ratio right!)
corn (or another type of vegetable. corn is my personal favourite, but I have also used mixed veggies - corn, beans, carrots, peas)
mashed potatoes (i use instant, it's faster!)
french onion soup mix
cheese

directions:
brown the ground beef until no more red is left. drain out any grease. sprinkle onion soup mix over the hamburger. about 2 tablespoons worth.

 pour beef into the bottom of a casserole dish.

then spread a layer of vegetables over the beef.

then spread mashed potatoes over the vegetables.

put it an oven at 350 degrees for approximately 30 minutes or until heated through. Since the meat is cooked, you can also just warm up individual servings in the microwave if you're in a rush!

once it's heated through, spread cheese over the mashed potatoes and put into the oven to broil for about 5 minutes. keep an eye on it so that the cheese doesn't burn.

mike & i prefer different cheeses, so we do half "real" cheese and half "fake" mmmm

scoop out, curl up on the couch and.. enjoy!
