Shephard’s Pie

Ingredients:

6 medium potatoes, peeled and diced into ½ inch pieces

4 carrots, peeled and chopped

1 onion diced

2 cloves garlic minced

1-2 pounds ground meat (beef or turkey)

1 tsp. garlic powder

1 tsp. onion powder

½ tsp. salt

¼ tsp. pepper

4 oz. tomato sauce

½ cup beef broth

1 tbsp. oil or butter

Directions:

Preheat oven 350⁰

Place potatoes in a large pot covered with about 1 inch of water. Put the pan

on medium heat until boiling, continue boiling 20 mins. As potatoes cook,

begin to melt the butter or heat oil in a medium skillet. Add onion and garlic

to the pan and cook until the onion is translucent. Add the ground meat,

onion, and garlic powder. Cook until thoroughly cooked, add tomato sauce

and beef broth. Once the mixture is combined, add remaining vegetables

and turn the heat to low. Potatoes can be removed from the heat and

strained. Keep ¼ cup of the liquid and add ¼ cup milk and ¼ cup of butter.

Add salt and pepper to taste. Use a hand mixer to combine ingredients until

smooth.

Spray the bottom of a 13×9 inch pan or smaller, individual baking pans with

non-stick spray. Pour the meat and vegetable mixture into a pan. Place the

potatoes on top and smooth out. Cover with foil. Place on a baking sheet on

the middle rack for 20 mins. Remove foil and add cheese to the top. Place

back in the oven under the broiler for 10 mins. Serve with salad to make this

a full meal and enjoy!
