Name: Shepherd’s Pie with Ground Beef

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 - 2 lbs ground beef
• 1/2 cup onion, chopped
• 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
• 4 tablespoons ketchup
• 1 pkg frozen mixed veggies (corn, carrots and green beans)
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 1 1/2 cups beef stock or broth
• 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 4-6 ounces cheese, freshly grated
• mashed potatoes (between 1 1/2 and 2 lbs)

Instructions:

• Turn the broiler on to 500º F.
• Add the oil to a large skillet and when hot, add the onion and sauté until it becomes translucent (about 4-5 min). Keep the flame on low so the onion doesn’t brown.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Add the garlic and stir it around with the onion for about 1 minute.
• Add your meat and once again season with salt and pepper.
• Cook through, breaking up with a fork as it cooks.
• Drain if necessary.
• Sprinkle the flour all around and cook for 1 minute.
• Add the ketchup, beef broth and Worcestershire sauce.
• Bring it to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes or until the gravy thickens a bit.
• Pour the beef mixture into a 9x13 casserole dish and layer the vegetables on top of the meat mixture.
• Sprinkle with the shredded cheese.
• Top with the mashed potatoes, spreading evenly and covering all the meat and cheese.
• Put your casserole dish under the broiler until the potatoes get a nice crust on top and turn golden brown. This could take 5 to 10 minutes.
