This is an awesome recipe that I got from my coworker. It can be modified in many ways, including for the slow cooker. It's a simple meal of things you often already have on hand that really sticks to the bones, and it can also be a fun way to use up some leftovers.

BASIC POOR MAN'S SHEPHERD'S PIE



Basic Poor Man's Shepherd's Pie image

I used to call this Mashed Potato Casserole growing up, but ever since I started making it for my husband and others they all seem to recognize it as a version of Shepherd's Pie. Now that I've tried my hand at Shepherd's Pie, I can see the resemblance! So I've renamed this "Poor Man's Shepherd's Pie", as I think it's much simpler, much cheaper, and much easier to make than most Shepherd's Pie recipes. Enjoy!

I got this recipe from a friend of mine years and years ago. It's one of my DH's favorites. It's been a while since I made it though, so I'm guessing at the time to bake.

Time 1h30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

10 potatoes (for mashing)
1 lb ground beef
1 (10 ounce) can creamed corn

Steps:

  • Make mashed potatoes using the 10 potatoes. I boiled my potatoes, drain and then mash wtih butter and milk to a smooth consistency.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, brown the ground beef until thoroughly cooked. Drain and rinse off grease.
  • Grease a casserole or baking dish with butter or spray with Pam.
  • Once potatoes are mashed, line the bottom and sides of the casserole dish with a little under 2/3 of the potatoes. Make it look like a crust.
  • Mix together the ground beef and creamed corn. Pour into the casserole as the filling.
  • Top the filling with the remaining mashed potatoes, spreading to the sides and having it meet the "crust".
  • Bake in a 400 degree oven until the top is lightly browned - about 30 to 45 minutes.
