Dinner tonight.

Shepherds pie.



Mary called it good. So did I. The green beans are from our garden.

P.S. Here is the recipe. Omit the salt if you use dry onion soup mix like we did.

Shepherd's Pie

2-1/2 pounds ground beef
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can French onion soup
1-1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 large onion, chopped
1 cup frozen corn (or peas and carrots)
mashed potatoes (5 or 6 medium)

Fry ground beef with salt and pepper and onion; drain.  Add soups. 
Simmer for 20 minutes.  Add frozen corn (or peas and carrots) and simmer
five more minutes.  Place in 9 x 13" baking dish.  Cover top with mashed
potatoes.  Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes, then place under
broiler to let potatoes get slightly brown on top.

P.P.S.
This was inspired by the 53*  temperature today. I love cold fronts.

  1. I couldn't figure out why Stud always said "I hate shepherd's pie". Then I made it one day with cornbread on top. I don't know if it has a different name, but without thinking of it as shepherd's pie, he still asks for it.

  2. I like the potato topping, but cornbread sounds awesome.
