Kay's Perfectly Simple Shepherd's Pie

Although I haven't made lots of them, I finally combined several recipes that I found online to make my version of shepherd's pie.


1 1/2 lbs ground meat
1 package McCormick Brown gravy
¾ cup water or beef broth
8 oz can tomato sauce
2 tablespoons Heinz 57 steak sauce (this is a must)
1 toe of garlic, minced
1 small onion, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
8 to 10 red new potatoes
1/2 cup sour cream
6 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 cups milk
2 tablespoons garlic powder
½ fresh Parmesan cheese (not the green can kind)
1 cup sharp Cheddar cheese
1 can mixed vegetables, green beans, or niblet corn, drained.  You can use frozen vegetables that have been cooked according to package directions.



Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Boil potatoes (I don’t peel mine).  While potatoes are boiling, in a skillet brown ground meat with onions, bell pepper, and garlic.  Season with black pepper.  Drain off grease.  Mix brown gravy mix in bowl with ¾ cup water.  Pour on top of meat mixture.  Add tomato sauce and steak sauce.  Bring to a boil and then simmer while making mashed potatoes. Gravy and sauce should thicken.  Drain water from potatoes.  Using hand mixer, mix potatoes, butter, sour cream and milk until smooth.  Add parmesan cheese and garlic powder and more pepper if you like.  Mix thoroughly.   In a casserole dish that you have sprayed with cooking spray.  Layer meat, your choice of vegetables (I make two layers—meat, veggies, meat, veggies). Sprinkle on ½ cup of cheese, top with mashed potatoes and ½ cup cheese.  (Sometimes I use more cheese).  Bake for 25 minutes or until everything is heated thoroughly.
