a cooking note.

I made Shepherd’s Pie tonight for the floor and throughly enjoyed it.

When making Shepherd’s Pie, make sure you let the frozen vegetables completely thaw before mixing in your browned meat and beef stock. It helps to do this all at once, rather than right before the things are going into the oven. Still turned out good, though.

 

1 lb. Ground Beef

2 cups mashed potatoes

4 oz. cream cheese

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

2 cl. garlic, minced

4 cups frozen mixed (thawed) vegetables

1 cup beef gravy

 

1. Brown meat in large skillet. Drain.

2. Mix potatoes (I used instant potatoes, just prepare them as the directions say) cream cheese, 1/2 of the cheddar, and the garlic until well blended.

3. Stir vegetables and gravy into meat.

4. Spoon into 9-in square baking dish. (NOTE: Also make sure you have a large enough baking dish. I ended up with three Pies tonight because of that.)

5. Cover with potato mixture. Spread.

6. Sprinkle remaining cheddar cheese.

7. 20 min. in oven at 375°.

Makes 6 servings.

 

Enjoy!
