    Shepherd's Pie is a great throw together weeknight dinner., Easy 30 or 40 minutes meals are great. Some of my other favorites are Easy Sheet Pan Fajitas, Chicken Bacon Ranch and Cheddar and INSTANT POT CHILI..

    Shepherds Pie on Fork

    Growing up my mother made shepherd's pie a lot. My parents always knew how to make some great cheap meals. Noone could stretch a pound of ground beef like my mother. The other ingredients are all basic items you probably have in your pantry. Cream of mushroom soup, corn, green beans, carrots, and mashed potatoes. (If you have leftover mashed potatoes they work great.) I usually have some instant mashed potatoes on hand and use them.

    Serving it up

    Well eating this delicious meat casserole over the years, it never occurred to me where it got its name. However well-doing some research I discovered it actually has Irish history. Originally named cottage pie if made with beef and shepherd's pie is made with lamb. It was very popular in the 1800s in Ireland, Scotland, and England. The sheepherders often known as  Shepherd's would have this meal waiting for them when they returned from the fields. Hence giving it its name.

    This recipe is made with cream of mushroom soup, although I know many use gravy. Also, this time I used canned corn, canned green beans, and fresh carrots -frozen can be used. Normally I go with whatever I have on hand.  So grab what you have in the pantry or freezer and throw it together.
