2 pounds browned ground beef (sausage if you're feeling frisky)
1 box instant mashed potatoes
2 cans mixed vegetables (14.5 oz) or 1 small mixed bag frozen
2 cans cream of mushroom soup, undiluted (14.5 oz)

How To Make shepherd's pie - the cheap way!

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Brown the hamburger and make 6-8 servings of instant potatoes (follow the box instructions).

Step 2

Drain grease from hamburger then mix in mixed vegetables and cream of mushroom soup.
Step 3

Pour meat/veggie/soup mix into a 13x9 inch pan and spread around evenly.
Step 4

Spread grated cheese evenly over meat/veggie/soup mixture.
Step 5

Spoon mashed potatoes evenly over cheese layer.
Step 6

Add more grated cheese over mashed potatoes.
Step 7

Cover with tin foil and bake for 30 minutes (long enough for it to melt the cheese and be hot all the way through).
Step 8

We like to serve it with simple cornbread. Scoop it out with a large spoon or spatula.
