Cheater's Shepherds Pie

I remembered to take a picture!

Whenever I have leftovers, I try to incorporate them into a new meal. So when I have leftover mashed potatoes, I make Shepherds Pie. Now, some hardcore cooks may get all fancy and actually make the crust, make the gravy and cut up the veggies - not me. I use frozen pie crust, frozen veggies and like I said - leftovers! That's why this is Cheater's Shepherds Pie! It's an easy meal to throw together.

What you need:

  • 1.5 lbs ground beef
  • Frozen pie shell(s)
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • Worchester sauce
  • Frozen veggies of your choice (I just use a mixed bag)
  • 1 can beef gravy
  • Leftover mashed potatoes
NOTE: This recipe yields two pies - I freeze the extra one for an easy meal on a busy night!

Directions:

1. Bake pie shell according to directions
2. Brown beef and onion - drain.
3. Add a couple of tablespoons of worchester sauce (I like a lot)
4. Add gravy and vegetables to the mix and heat for a few minutes
5. Add the whole mix to a pie shell
6. Top with mashed potatoes
7. Bake at 450 degrees for 20-25min

Easy pie filling:


Final product:
Unfortunately I lost track of time and baked it for over 30 minutes and burned the crust....

Still good though!
