Shepherd's Pie


Meat and Potatoes.

Really, comfort food.

Ground beef 2 pounds
2 medium onions chopped


3 cloves of garlic chopped

2 carrots chopped


1 small can tomato paste

1 cup ketchup

1 beef bullion

1/2 cup hot water
black pepper
Worcestershire sauce - to taste (I use 1 tablespoon)

1 large can of green beans


Mashed potatoes


Sharp Cheddar Cheese

Brown the hamburger, onions, garlic and carrots. Drain.


Mix together the ketchup, paste, beef bullion and water. Add the sauce to the beef mixture.  Season with black pepper (to taste).  Pour into a 9 x 13 pan.


Top with the green beans.


Top the green beans with the mashed potatoes (okay, I have to confessed. I used Ore-Ida Steam and Mash - these were great - two packages of the russett potatoes).


Make sure that the edges are sealed with the potatoes (adds to the yum factor).  Sprinkle some sharp cheddar.  Bake at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes or until golden brown on top and bubbly.


Serve immediately.


Yummy - really.


Serve with a salad or nothing at all.
