A few weeks ago a neighbor mentioned that she had made Shepherd’s pie for dinner and I have been craving it ever since!!  Shepherd’s Pie is a great way to use leftovers up!

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 large onion
• garlic powder to taste
• 1 can tomato paste
• 4 cups corn ( fresh, canned, or frozen will work!)
• 6 cups mashed potatoes
• 2 cup shredded cheese ( optional!)

Directions:

Step 1: Cook ground beef, onion, and garlic powder in a skillet until done.  Stir in can of tomato paste and heat until warm

Step 2: Using either two pie pans, or one 9×13 pan, spread ground beef mixture at the bottom.

Step 3: Add corn on top of the ground beef mixture.

Step 4:  Add mashed potatoes on top of the corn and top with cheese (optional)

Step 5: Bake in oven at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes until cheese is nice and bubbly and dish is heated through.

Shepherd’s Pie also freezes well!  I made 2 pie pan size pies.  One was for dinner and one was for the freezer.  I am trying to get some meals in the freezer and ready to go for when Baby Girl gets here!

Variations:

• Add any veggies that your family likes
• Works well with ground chicken, pork, or turkey
• Add stewed tomatoes for a more “soupy” style pie
