Ingredients
- 2 lbs. lean ground beef
- 2 package brown gravy
- 1/2 cup water
- 10 large sized potatoes make into mashed potatoes or
- 3 cups leftover mashed potatoes or
- 3 cups instant mashed potatoes
- 16 bag frozen corn or mixed vegetables
- 1 stick butter sliced into pats
- 1 can French fried onions (optional)
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In advance, peel and boil the potatoes and make mashed potatoes, or use leftover mashed potatoes or instant mashed potatoes (make according to package directions); set aside. Cook vegetables according to package directions and set aside. In a skillet, brown ground beef then sprinkle brown gravy mix over ground beef and no more than 1/2 cup of water just to thicken the gravy and make the ground beef a little moist - do not make ground beef soupy. After ground beef has browned, evenly layer ground beef in a rectangular 9x13 casserole or baking dish; then evenly layer the cooked vegetables atop the ground beef; finally, spread the mashed potatoes carefully (I use a rubber spatula) over the vegetable layer until completely covered. Sprinkle the French fried onions atop the mashed potatoes (optional), or arrange the pats of butter atop the potatoes if you do not use the onions. Bake the Shepherds Pie for approximately 30 minutes, just to heat all the ingredients through. Complete meal in a dish.
