Recipe #1 - This is Our Family Recipe!
While this is not a quick recipe to prepare and requires making a bit of a mess in the kitchen, it is pretty simple to make, very frugal, and absolutely delicious! It's also great for entertaining company and can easily be doubled using a 9x13 baking pan. Everyone always love my version of Shepherd's Pie (even our kids--who hate mushrooms), so I hope you will enjoy it too!
Ingredients:
1 lb. ground chuck (or regular ground beef, ground turkey or whatever's on sale)
1/4 medium onion, chopped
2 carrots, peeled and sliced diagonally
1 c. sliced mushrooms
6 medium potatoes, boiled and mashed (add milk, salt and butter as usual)
1 pkg. brown gravy mix
3/4 c. shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Directions:
Brown ground chuck with chopped onions and drain, then set skillet aside while finishing the next steps. In three separate pots cook carrots, sauté mushrooms in a dab of butter and prepare mashed potatoes if not already done.
Prepare gravy per package directions and add to ground beef, along with carrots and mushrooms. Cover and simmer on medium heat for a few minutes until thickened. Place beef mixture into a medium sized casserole dish and cover with mashed potatoes.
Drag a fork over the top of potatoes and sprinkle with the amount of cheese desired. The more the better (just be sure to buy it on sale!) Place in 350-degree oven just long enough to melt the cheese. YUM!!
