I LOVE shepherd's pie. Did I mention that I love it? I have had it all ways - with beef, with chicken, vegetarian and most versions I really like. And now that it is getting chilly outside I decided it was time to have this for dinner.
Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef (I use 93% lean)
1/2 onion - chopped
5 button mushrooms - sliced thin
1 1/2 cups frozen peas - thawed
1 can "healthy" cream of mushroom soup
2 cups mashed potatoes
Preheat the oven to 350* and spray 9" x 13" baking pan with non stick spray. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef and onions. Once browned (about 8 minutes), add mushrooms and cook 2-3 more minutes. Add peas and soup, stir and pour into baking pan. Top with mashed potatoes, spread over the meat mixture and bake 25-30 minutes (this allows the flavors to combine). Enjoy!
Variations:
I have seen many recipes that add cheese, which would probably be delicious between the beef and the potatoes, but I was trying to keep it on the light side. You could add any number of veggies to this (chopped up small) - particularly if you have picky children. It would be a good way to get them to eat their daily servings ;-).
