Talk about satisfying. Ground beef, vegetables, and gravy are baked under pillowy mashed potatoes. If it's not yet already, this will soon be a family favorite recipe.
1 pound Ground Beef (93% lean or leaner)
1-1/2 cups Classic Beef Gravy
1-1/2 cups chopped onions
1-1/2 cups frozen peas and carrots blend
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2-1/2 to 3 cups mashed potatoes
Garnish
2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese or cheddar cheese (optional)
Cooking times are for fresh or thoroughly thawed Ground Beef. Ground Beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F. Color is not a reliable indicator of Ground Beef doneness.
Shepherd's Pie can also be baked in a 2-quart baking dish. Following step 1, transfer meat mixture to a baking dish and top with potatoes and cheese. Baking times are the same.
