| Shepherd's Pie |
Friends, this is day two of my VACATION WEEK YAAAAY in which I feature casseroles from weeks past that will translate well to lunches. Today, I'm showing you my super tasty Shepherd's Pie that I made for St. Patrick's Day. And it's just as easy to make as it is tasty!
Now, I made little individual casseroles, because I had friends over and it's cute. You can use four 2-cup casserole dishes for this, or one large 8-cup (or 2-quart) casserole dish. Whatever makes your little Irish heart glad!
Easy Shepherd's Pie
1 lb ground lamb (or beef, in which case you should rename this "Cottage Pie")
1 can mixed vegetables, drained
4 cups mashed potatoes (I made mine fresh using two potatoes, but you may use leftover or store bought)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
In a large skillet, brown meat over medium heat. Drain fat, and add in vegetables, stirring until heated through. Divide meat mixture evenly between four 2-cup individual casserole dishes. Top with about 1 cup each of mashed potatoes, sprinkling 1/4 cup of cheese on top. Bake at 400F until cheese is melted and tops of potatoes are lightly browned. Serve with a good salad and a loaf of bread.
Meat mixture will freeze for several months, so feel free to keep it in your freezer for whenever you have leftover potatoes!
