Yes!  Another easy recipe that both my kids will eat, and this one doesn’t feel like a “kiddie” meal.  I made this last night, and they both gobbled it up.  My three year old ate it “as is”; for my 1 1/2 year old I made sure there were no hidden “surprises” in his mashed potatoes and put the meat separate from the veggies, adding ketchup to dip.

Shepherd’s Pie

1 lb. ground beef (I used ground turkey)

2 cups mashed potatoes

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided

1 T. garlic powder

4 cups mixed vegetables (I used canned, but I’ve used frozen too)

1 can cream of mushroom soup

********

1.  Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.  Brown meat in skillet and drain.  (I took this time to boil and get the potatoes mashed as well.)

2.  Mix potatoes with 1/2 of shredded cheese and the garlic powder.

3.  Stir vegetables, soup, and meat together and spoon into a 9 inch square baking pan.

4.  Cover with mashed potato mixture.  Sprinkle remaining cheese on top.

5.  Bake 20 minutes, or until heated through.  (I put a cookie sheet underneath, just in case!)

Makes 6 servings approximately.
