Updated Shepherds Pie Recipe

My "book club" (or at least that's what we tell the husbands and boyfriends) met on Monday night as we meet every month - bring books, food and gossip! I requested that we have a Saint Patty's day theme... and I made the main dish of Shepherd's Pie. Here is the recipe I put together:

Ingredients:

2 bags of Frozen (above) OreIda Steam n' Mash - red potatoes

2 tablespoons fat free sour cream

4 tables spoons butter

1 cup mild shredded cheddar cheese

2 pounds extra lean ground beef

2 bags frozen veggies (chopped mix of corn, beans, carrots, lima beans, etc), thawed

2 cans of french cut green beans - drained

6 ounces beef broth

salt/pepper to taste on each ingredient

3 garlic cloves, minced (I used the already minced bottled kind)

Directions:

1. Skillet - Brown Beef and Drain

2. Sauce pan - Prepare veggies as says on bag, add beef broth and garlic

3. Microwave - each bag of potatoes for 10 minutes each

4. Once veggies are finished cooking, add beef and simmer on low

5. Once potatoes are both prepared, open and put into a large bowl, add butter and sour cream, mash to your liking

6. Pour the beef/veggie combo into the bottom of a large and deep baking dish

7. Top with 2 cans of drained green beans (creating a second layer)

8. Top with potatoes and spread over entire dish

9. Top with cheese

10. Broil on Hi until cheese is bubbling on top

Serve and enjoy! :)
