Shepherd's Pie

This is my version of Shepherd's Pie. I have tweaked it over the past three years and it's one of the top three meals our kids request.

1 lb ground beef, crumbled and cooked
1 can cream of celery soup
1/2 cup of beef broth
2 1/2 cups frozen veggie mixture (the one with corn, beans, peas, carrots, etc.)
mashed potatoes (the ones from the church cannery), usually about 4 cups water, 2 cups potatoes
shredded cheese

Combined ground beef, cream of celery soup and beef broth in 2.5 quart casserole pan. Spread evenly on the bottom of the the casserole dish. Sprinkle the frozen veggie mix over the top. Mix a handful of shredded cheese in with the mashed potatoes. Spread potato mixture over the top of the veggie layer. Cook at 375 for 20-25 minutes until gravy is bubbly around the potato mixture.

Note: I usually just use whatever veggies I have - canned corn, canned beans, frozen veggie mixture. It doesn't matter because the kids will eat it sandwiched between the meat and potatoes.
