Sheila's Shepherd's Pie

Submitted by JackieOhNo!

"I have been making this for years, as it is quick and is a complete meal in one dish. I am posting my basic recipe but, if you'd rather have tomato sauce than gravy, try that instead. If you'd like, you can sprinkle about 1/2 cup of your favorite cheese over the potatoes before sprinkling with paprika. And you can also use two 16-oz. bags of frozen mixed vegetables instead of the corn, carrots, and peas, or any leftover vegetables you may have. This is really an incredibly versatile recipe! I would also suggest you check the seasoning before adding the cooked mixture to the baking dish. Both the onion soup mix and gravy have sodium, so taste it before adding salt. If you don't have leftover mashed potatoes, instant potatoes will work fine."

Is this a family recipe? Want a Cajun cousin? I'm packing my bags for a visit. One for my best of 2012 and made for PRMR.

This is one of the best I made. Everyone loved it. It's full of veggies and taste great. I used baby carrots, that I chopped and steamed. And no paprika on top because of my son. Thanks Jackie :) Made for PRMR tag game

Great meal and loved it was one dish! I did double this recipe because we enjoy leftovers. Very flavorful and will make this again instead of my recipe. :) Made and reviewed for the Culinary Quest 2015.

We all loved this version of Shepard's Pie. We invited my mother in law over to go see a movie and come back to our house for dinner. I prepped the entire dish prior to the movie, so all I had to do was pop it in the oven for 30 minutes. I used leftover mashed potatoes from the other night. I didn't have 6 cups worth, more like 3 - 4 tops, but it worked well. Thank you! Made for CQ 2 - Ireland.
