We eat BIG in this house! For tonight's dinner it was a unanimous "Shepherd's Pie!" It's warm, filling, EASY, fast to make, cheap, and tastes great! How could I say no?

Ingredients For shepherd's pie - the cheap way!

  • 2 lb
    browned ground beef (sausage if you're feeling frisky)
  • 1 box
    instant mashed potatoes
  • 2 can
    mixed vegetables (14.5 oz) or 1 small mixed bag frozen
  • 2 can
    cream of mushroom soup, undiluted (14.5 oz)
  • 1 pkg
    grated cheese

How To Make shepherd's pie - the cheap way!

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Brown the hamburger and make 6-8 servings of instant potatoes (follow the box instructions).
  • 2
    Drain grease from hamburger then mix in mixed vegetables and cream of mushroom soup.
  • 3
    Pour meat/veggie/soup mix into a 13x9 inch pan and spread around evenly.
  • 4
    Spread grated cheese evenly over meat/veggie/soup mixture.
  • 5
    Spoon mashed potatoes evenly over cheese layer.
  • 6
    Add more grated cheese over mashed potatoes.
  • 7
    Cover with tin foil and bake for 30 minutes (long enough for it to melt the cheese and be hot all the way through).
  • 8
    We like to serve it with simple cornbread. Scoop it out with a large spoon or spatula.
  • Last Step: Don't forget to share! Make all your friends drool by posting a picture of your finished recipe on your favorite social network. And don't forget to tag Just A Pinch and include #justapinchrecipes so we can see it too!
