Comfort food at its finest. Shepard’s Pie is quick and easy to make with minimal cleanup 😊. This hearty and filling meal will be sure to please your tastebuds (and your family or friends 🤤)!

Ingredients:

• 1 pound potatoes, peeled (optional) and quartered 
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 lb ground beef
• 3/4 cup of corn
• 1-1/2 cups shredded cheese of your choice
• 1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cut potatoes into quarters and cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes; drain.
• Using a potato masher or mixer, slowly blend milk, garlic, and butter into potatoes until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Set aside.

Preheat oven to 375 F.

• In a cast iron skillet, brown ground beef and drain.
  • Tip: I like to tilt the skillet to one side, push the meat to the top side and use a few rolled up paper towels to absorb the fat. This method makes it easy to discard in the trash.
• Add the corn to the ground beef and stir to mix evenly.
• Layer the mashed potatoes on top of the ground beef to fully cover.
• Top with grated cheese.
• Bake until cheese is golden brown and bubbly, about 30 minutes.

BE CAUTIOUS. SKILLET HANDLE WILL BE EXTREMELY HOT!

Serve and enjoy!
