OK, last one. I think. Except for the Pasta With No Name and it’s lamb-based second cousin thing I did. Oh, no, wait. I also did Phad Thai and some Teriyaki chicken… but I didn’t take pictures so you’re in luck there.

Shepherd's Pie

I mashed the potatoes myself. If you use a packet, adjust accordingly.

Ingredients:
2 lb extra lean ground beef
1 cup peas
4 carrots
1 medium onion, chopped
worchestershire sauce
salt
pepper
3 lbs potatoes
2 tbsp butter
1 egg
1 cup milk
spices for the potatoes

Directions:
Potatoes: your standard mashed potatoes by hand recipe. Peel and cut. Put in salted water for at least 30 minutes until soft enough to fork through. Put in mixing bowl, add 1 egg, spices, butter, milk, and blend.

Spice and brown the meat (with salt, pepper, and worchestershire to taste), drain and set aside. Cook the carrots and onions until soft. Cook veggies with with meat if you want. Put veggies and meat in bowl. Add peas. Mix.

In baking dish: add one layer of potatoes. Add meat mixture. Cover with potatoes. Sprinkle top with paprika, fork for texture. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Broil at end until top is brown.

Cost: $10-12
Serves: 4-6
Review: 3/5. It’s not the most flavorful dish. I kept wanting a different texture than potatoes, but that was just me.
