Yummy beef and potato casserole

Submitted by ckambic

"My daughter gets so excited when she knows I'm making this. A comfort food to be enjoyed by young and old alike. It is known as Shepherd's Pie or to be more accurate, Cottage Pie. (Shepherd's Pie is made with ground lamb.) Recipe is from Country Cooking recipe book and submitted by Valerie Merrill. This dish really stays hot after removing from oven. I usually dish my DD's out before serving to give it a chance to cool off a bit."

Very good comfort food and a great way to use the rest of our mashed potatoes and some veggies that were about to turn. I used cream of celery soup and added diced tomatoes between the meat and potato layer to use them up before they went bad. I also added some cheese on top which it didn't need but made it look nice. Next time I might add more peppers and onions and possibly carrots, broccoli, etc as they're disguised by the potatoes!

SOOO EASY!! We all really enjoyed this casserole. The only changes I made was to leave out the peppers, and add some peas (seemed like a good thing to do :-) I also peeled and cubed my potatoes before boiling, because I the recipe didn't specify, but that is how we like em. Thank you for this simple and delicious recipe pgserver6!!
