List of Ingredients




Meat Mixture
1 lb. ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1/2-3/4 tsp. minced garlic or 2 cloves
dash worchestershire sauce
1 can stems and pieces mushrooms, drained
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can beef broth
pepper

Vegetable Layer

2 cups mixed diced vegetables, (peas, carrots, corn)
1 onion, chopped
dash worchestershire sauce
1/2 tsp. minced garlic
pepper

Potato Topping
10 potatoes, peeled, diced, cooked and mashed or 2 packages instant mashed potatoes
1 cup grated mozzarella or cheddar cheese
pepper
garlic (optional)



Recipe



Preheat oven to 350*.
Brown ground beef with onions, garlic, worchestershire sauce and pepper. Drain and return to pan. Add mushrooms and tomatoes and bring to boil. Add broth and simmer for 15 min.

Add onion and garlic to vegetables and defrost in the microwave for 5 min. stirring every 2 min. or so. Add pepper and mix.

Layer meat, vegetable and potato layers in 9x13 in. pan. Cook for 20 min. Add mozzarella or cheddar cheese and broil until brown and bubbly. Let stand up to 10 min. before serving.


*This meal freezes well, I have added the ingredients to the pan except the potatoes and cheese for a future meal. If you don't have pans that you can spare putting in the freezer, the next time you make a shepherd's pie, make double the sauce meat mixture and put 1/2 in a large freezer bag, remove the air and flatten. It takes about a day to defrost in the fridge or speed up the process by defrosting in the microwave.

Try different vegetables to suit your family. I have added spinach for a different texture.
