Shep' Pie

Is it raining outside? And are you looking to make something that's easy that will carry you over for a few meals? 
Then shepherd's pie is the way to go!  (Rain or shine. ..just happens to fit today's rainy day nicely)

There are tons of recipes out there,  and mine is a very. .relaxed, use-what-you-have kind of thing:

Start with getting your mashed potatoes going, they will eventually go on top of the whole mix like frosting to a cake. ( I like to add garlic and cheese when I can. ) - about 3 big russet potatoes.
Meanwhile take around a half stick of butter and sauté one diced onion,  add about a lb of ground beef (traditionally lamb is used. ..you could also do ground turkey)...cook through. . .season with things in your spice cupboard and a few good dashes of worchchester sauce.  Add veggies based on how much they need to be cooked.  (I admit I use canned veg here a lot) tonight I used carrots, peas, corn, and green beans.  Add in 1/2 cup beef broth. ..bring to boil then simmer for about 10min, stirring regularly.
Pour this mix into baking dish, top with the mash and put in the oven at 400 for half an hour or until potatoes crisp and brown on top.
...sacrilegious I'm sure. .but it is nice with ketchup! 
...now I don't have to cook tomorrow!
