Shepard's Pie

My eldest daughter has been begging for me that she is craving for the Shepard Pie for the dinner. Finally I decided to make it for her and rest of us too.

Really easy to make by throwing it altogether to create a simple dish without breaking any sweats in the kitchen.

You can either use the ground beef or turkey as your choice. For me I used the ground beef for more flavor along with two different kinds of broths (beef and vegetable).

You may want to cook the potatoes first then cook the ground beef or turkey until they re fully cooked. Potatoes takes a while to cook until they become tender. I cooked the ground beef with the beef broth until they were fully absorbed for more burst flavors then pour the vegetable broth to cook a little bit so you have some liquid.

For potatoes:
7 white or yukon potatoes, quartered, cubed or whatever you cut as your way
Fill the pot with the water and bring it up the boil water to cook until it becomes very tender. You want to drain it then mashed it with a little bit of butter, milk and some shredded cheese to mix it altogether. Put it aside until you are done with the ground beef or turkey mixture.

For ground beef or turkey mixture:
1 pound of ground beef or turkey, cook until they are fully cooked then drain the grease. Pour the beef broth for the ground beef until they are fully absorbed (no liquid left). If you are using the ground turkey, you can use the vegetable broth too. Then pour the vegetable broth on the ground beef or turkey mixture along with a half of the bag of frozen mixed vegetables and cook it a little bit.

Dash some seasonings
~ Garlic Powder
~ Freshly ground black pepper
~ Dried Dill
~ Salt

In the small casserole pan, pour all of the ground beef or turkey mixture with the liquid. Spread the mashed potatoes on the top of it. Sprinkle with the remaining shredded cheese. Put in the oven at 350 degree until the cheese becomes gooey.

Enjoy those Shepard's Pie in the household! :D
