Easy Shepherd's Pie Recipe
Ingredients

- 2 cups cheddar cheese (shredded)
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions

- Pour both cans of soup over meat (you could also use beef gravy).
- Pour cans of drained veggies over soup and meat.
- Topped with already prepared mashed potatoes.
- Sprinkle grated cheese over potatoes.
- Bake in preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until heated through.
Notes
Shepherd’s Pie is extremely versatile and the measurements are very “loose” — use what you have on hand and don’t worry about exact measurements (this recipe is a fantastic way to use up leftovers!)
- Use pulled pork or leftover roast in place of the ground beef for a “fancier” meal.
- Add in more veggies (a can of corn, leftover cooked carrots, or steamed veggies) for a little extra flavor and color variety.
- Bulk it up by adding more mashed potatoes to the top — a great way to feed those hungry teens.
- Use brown gravy (preferably beef) in place of the tomato soup for a beefier flavor.
- Add in sautéd or caramelized onions for a big flavor boost.
- Mix up the cheese (fresh parmesan is fantastic!)
- Sprinkle a little Parley or Chives (fresh or dried) on top of the potatoes and cheese.
