In the 5/24/09 newsletter Ella in Ca requested recipes for Shepherd?s Pie. This is the one I make. Good comfort food! Actually anything with mashed potatoes is good! LOL

Easy Shepherd's Pie

1 pound lean ground beef
1 cup chopped onion
2 cups frozen green beans, thawed
1 cup frozen corn niblets, thawed
1 (14.5 ounce) can petite diced tomatoes, undrained
1 (12 ounce) can beef gravy
salt & pepper to taste
2 light shakes garlic powder
paprika
? c. shredded cheddar cheese
2 c. leftover mashed potatoes ? I use Potato Buds

Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray 3 quart casserole baking dish or an 8 x 12 x 2 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. In large skillet cook ground beef, garlic powder and onion until browned; drain grease. Add beans, corn, tomatoes, gravy, salt & pepper. Cook until heated through. Spoon beef mixture into casserole dish. Sprinkle the cheese over all. Spread mashed potatoes evenly over beef mixture. Sprinkle with paprika. Bake 45 minutes or until edges are bubbly and potatoes are lightly browned. Remove from oven. Serves 5 - 6 posted on Nancy?s message board under Beef by Chris in NM
