Shephard's Pie

This dish has always been one of my favorites growing up and has become an even bigger favorite now that I'm married and have to cook all the time. This dish is so fast and so easy plus its very healthy and combines 3 of your 5 food groups in one dish! Now you can't beat that!

How To:

Step 1: In a large frying pan, cook ground beef and drain.

Step 2: Reduce heat to medium-low. Add Tomato soup and water, stir.

Step 3: Add corn and green beans. Salt and pepper to taste.

Step 4: While veggies are cooking, make your instant potatoes according to box instructions.

(If you're really ambitious you can make real mashed potatoes...but I like easy so I chose instant)

Step 5: Dollop potatoes on top of meat and veggies. Grate cheese to cover potatoes and let melt.

Serve with a green or fruit salad and biscuits.

Enjoy!!!
