Shepard's Pie Peterson version

Tonight for dinner I wanted to make something that would stick to our ribs and warm us up. I am freezing already and it's only October!! Not a good sign.

As you can tell I use condensed cream soups in a lot of my recipes. Why not? They are inexpensive and add a lot of flavor and creaminess to the recipes.

Here is my "fly by the seat of my pants" Shepard's Pie Recipe:

spray 9x11 baking dish with cooking spray

2 lbs ground beef browned and drained
2 cans mixed vegetables drained (I used the not salt added kind with carrots, corn, peas, green beans, celery, and potatoes)
1 small onion minced and cooked until soften
1 can cream of celery soup
1 cup water
salt and pepper to taste

Mix above and spread in the 9x11 baking pan

Next make 8 servings instant mashed potatoes using light margarine spread and fat free milk. When Potatoes are done add you favorite blend of reduced fat shredded cheese and stir until melted.

Spread potatoes across top of ground beef mixture. Bake in 350 degree oven for 30 minutes then up the heat to 400 for 20 minutes to help brown the top or you could put it under the broiler on low until top is brown.

Let stand 15 minutes before serving.

Yum!! A few in the family have already come back for seconds and as you can see from the picture they couldn't wait to dig in!!
