SHEPHERD'S PIE



This Shepherd's Pie recipe takes a little time to make but is well worth the trouble. I like to double the recipe, make two, and freeze one for another day.

1 lb ground beef
2 cups mashed potatoes ( I use 6 medium potatoes)
4 oz cream cheese, cubed
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
2 cloves garlic, minced or 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
4 cups frozen mixed vegetables, thawed
1 pkg brown gravy mix, I use McCormick
Reserved potato water

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Peel and boil 6 medium potatoes until soft. Mash and add 1 tsp salt, cream cheese, and 1/2 cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese. Blend well with an electric mixer adding some reserved potato water for desired consistency. Prepare brown gravy mix per packaged instructions. Brown ground beef in skillet. Drain, add vegetables and brown gravy. Heat on low for 5 minutes. Spoon meat into a 9-inch square baking dish. Top with mashed potatoes. Sprinkle remaining Cheddar Cheese on top. Heat in oven until cheese is melted on top.
