Shepherd's Pie

Apparently, Shepherd's pie is made with lamb. Cottage Pie is made with beef. Anyway...

I got this recipe from Allrecipes.com but after reading the reviews I did make a few changes. So here's my version.

1 pound lean ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1 28 oz. can diced tomatoes
1/2 package frozen mixed veggies
2 T vegetable oil
Salt to taste
2 cups instant mashed potatoes
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

1. Heat oil in frying pan. Add chopped onions, and fry until golden brown. Add ground beef, and keep stirring until meat is browned. Add diced tomatoes, and continue to cook until liquid from the tomatoes evaporates (about 15 minutes). Salt to taste.
2. Add vegetables during the last 5 minutes of cooking time.
   
3. In the meantime, prepare the mashed potatoes as directed on the packet. Add sour cream.
4. Spread the meat mixture into the bottom of 9x13 baking dish. Cover with a layer of mashed potatoes, and top with grated cheese.
5. Bake for 10 minutes at 400F until cheese has melted and browned. Makes 8 servings.

Welcome

I love to cook. Currently we are living with my husband's parents and I don't get the opportunity to cook as much as I used to. This is a way for me to do something for me - get some time in the kitchen, make my favorite foods and also try new recipes even though I don't have my own kitchen. I can share recipes without taking up space on my personal blog. My goal is to cook something once or twice a week. We'll see how it goes.
