"If I know my day will be hectic, I'll pull the meat mixture for this convenient, family-pleasing pie out of the freezer to thaw," comments Paula Zsiray of Logan, Utah. "And if you use frozen or instant mashed potatoes to top the pie, it's even quicker to fix."
With Johnsonville Italian Sausage.

I used peas and carrots I had on hand, added beef gravy, leftover meatloaf with beefy onion mix with a little ketchup in it and leftover mashed potatoes. I mixed cut up chedder cheese cubes in the potatoes and added a few herbs and seasonings on top. :)

I have made several times. This recipe can be changed to suit the veg. you have on hand. This time I was out of gravy in a jar and sub. gravy from an envelope and is turned out great. I used real onion & garlic in the ground beef.

I did not have beef gravy or frozen Veggies. I used canned mixed vegetables from Del Monte that has carrots, corn, green beans and a few limas. I did not have beef gravy, so I took one and a partial envelope of Liptons Onion soup mix, mixid it with 24 oz of h2o and some corn starch to thicken. I added some onion powder and garlic powder, mixed this all together with the cooked beef, put mashed potatoes on top and baked it at 350 for 30 min. I then sprinled grated chedder cheese on top and cooked it another 5 min. to melt the cheese. My men folk loved it and went back for 2nd and 3rd helpings.

I didn't think it was too bland at all. This is not a flavorful dish. I enjoyed it so much though. I just used corn and peas since I didn't have any carrots on hand. I cannot wait to defrost the second batch some time and make it again. I used instant potatoes and they were not runny one bit.

So simple and quick! Since there were only two of us eating, I halved the recipe, no freezer space for the other half! To spice it up, I used thyme, black pepper and paprika and refrigerated potatoes to save time. Good recipe for ground venison. Can't wait to make again!!

Use package of mashed potatoes, any flavor, from the fridge(no frozen) section of grocery. better texture and flavor than instant potatoes and faster prep that fresh potatoes unless your using leftover mashed potatoes.

I like to store several of these in a Ziploc in my freezer. It's easy to make ahead of time.
