Time 2h2m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 medium bag potatoes
2 cans corn
1 medium onion
2 lb hamburger
Salt
Pepper
Lemon pepper
Garlic salt
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/2 can milk plus some for the potatoes
Butter
1/2 package cream cheese
1 lb cheddar cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • Boil the potatoes. Boil the corn. Then chop up the onion. Add hamburger and onion in a pan and cook on medium heat until hamburger is done. Then add the seasonings to your liking. Then add the cream of chicken soup and the milk and let simmer for 5 minutes, on the lowest setting on your stove.
  • While your mixture is simmering mash your potatoes and add butter, milk, and cream cheese. Add as much butter and milk as you prefer, more butter and milk makes your potatoes creamier. Add a teaspoon of all the seasonings to the potatoes. Drain corn.
  • Place meat at the bottom of the 13 by 9 pan. Then spread the corn over the meat, evenly. Then add a thin layer of cheddar cheese over the corn. Then spread the potatoes over the corn making the layer thick so you don't disturb the corn, you will probably have left over potatoes. Now add another layer of cheddar cheese, thickness all depends on how cheesy you like it!
  • Now bake for 30 minutes on 350 degrees F. And enjoy your shepherd's pie!

SHEPHERD PIE FOR A CROWD



Shepherd Pie for a Crowd image

This is a new recipe I've come up with using what I like from several other recipes. I serve 12 routinely and usually 3-4 extra, especially with a salad. I have this when I have leftover mashed potatoes. You can also use high quality dried mashed or frozen bags. I use french cut or small frozen green beans. Use whatever vegies your family likes.
