Recipe: Shepherd's Pie

There are a million ways to make this recipe, I know. I have never made even one. But this weekend, I tried one version of this pie provided by a new friend. What I loved about this recipe -its basic ingredients, its quick preparation, and it was just plain and simple good. And for the first time ever, Noah (while still chewing his first few bites) told me I should make this again. File that under: Huge Success.

Shepherd's Pie
  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 1 can tomato soup (do not add the water)
  • 1 can green beans
  • mashed potatoes (I used instant, next time I'll use 2 pkgs.)
  • 8 -10 slices of cheese
Brown and drain the ground beef, add tomato soup and green beans. Put that in the bottom of a 9x13 dish, top with potatoes (spread evenly). Lay slices of cheese to cover entire top. Put in oven at 375 until cheese is bubbly.

Mmm, mmmm. You gotta git you some. And it only took as long to prepare as it takes to brown the meat and melt the cheese on top in the oven. So quick. So basic. So tasty.
