Shepherd's Pie
This is a Gillaspie family classic. For a simple supper, serve this with rolls, and a quick salad.
Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
2 1/2 tablespoons onion flakes
8 servings mashed potatoes (I use instant potatoes, prepared according to package directions)
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 6oz. can tomato paste
1 8oz. can tomato sauce
1/2 teaspoon oregano
3/4 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt to taste
Preheat oven to 350°.
Brown ground beef with onion flakes. When beef is browned, drain off excess fat.
Add in tomato sauce and paste and spices to taste. Simmer for ten minutes. Spoon meat mixture into casserole dish. Spoon prepared mashed potatoes on top of meat mixture. Top with cheese. Place in oven and bake until cheese is melted — about 10-15 minutes.
