Simple Shepherd’s Pie

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 10 min. Bake: 30 min. YIELD: 2 casseroles (4 servings each).
If I know my day will be hectic, I'll pull the meat mixture for this convenient, family-pleasing simple shepherd's pie out of the freezer to thaw. And if you use frozen or instant mashed potatoes to top the pie, it's even quicker to fix. —Paula Zsiray, Logan, Utah
