Description

A comforting shepherd’s pie made with ground beef, mixed veggies, and a fluffy layer of creamy mashed potatoes.


Ingredients

  • 1/2 (13oz) box of mashed potatoes (plus the ingredients required to make them—milk, butter, and salt)
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 (12oz) bag frozen mixed veggies
  • 1 (10.75oz) can tomato soup
  • 1 (1.5oz) packet of beef stew seasoning mix
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1-2 cups shredded cheddar cheese


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400° F.
  2. Prepare the mashed potatoes based on the package instructions.
  3. Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat. Drain any excess grease that accumulates.
  4. Add the whole can of tomato soup, frozen mixed veggies, beef stew seasoning mix, and 1/2 cup of water to the browned beef. Stir and let it simmer on low heat for around 5-10 minutes.
  5. Spread the ground beef mixture into the bottom of a greased 9×13 baking dish, ensuring even coverage.
  6. Carefully layer the prepared mashed potatoes over the beef mixture.
  7. Sprinkle your desired amount of shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
  8. Place the baking dish in the oven and bake uncovered in the center for about 30 minutes, or until the cheese starts to brown.

Notes

For added richness, mix in cream cheese or sour cream with the mashed potatoes.
