Shepherd’s Pie is great with leftover homemade mashed potatoes, but it’s tasty with ready-made mashed potatoes from the grocery store, too —Jennifer Early, East Lansing, Michigan

Ingredients

1 tub (24 ounces) refrigerated cheddar mashed potatoes
1 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)
1 envelope mushroom gravy mix
1-1/2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
1 cup water
1/8 teaspoon pepper

Directions

Heat potatoes according to package directions.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook beef over medium heat for 6-8 minutes or until no longer pink, breaking into crumbles; drain. Stir in gravy mix. Add vegetables and water; bring to boil. Reduce heat; simmer until heated through, stirring occasionally. Transfer to a 9-in. square baking pan.
Spread potatoes over top; sprinkle with pepper. Broil 4-6 in. from the heat for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.

I will definitely be making this again. So quick and easy. I used hickory smoked bacon and cheddar instant potatoes in place of the prepared mashed potatoes. This gave it so much flavor.

A very delicious and quick Shepherd's Pie recipe. I used my own frozen corn and peas and added fresh carrots, diced. Will make this recipe again.

Made this for a potluck with a few adjustments and they loved it! I used instant potatoes instead of the refrigerated ones and sprinkled top with shredded cheddar cheese. I also cooked the vegetables instead of just heating them.

I made it with ground turkey because I didn't have any ground beef and my family still loved it!
