Cheesy Shepherd’s Pie with Gravy

If your taste buds could talk, they would shout, “More cheese, please!” So, let’s make a shepherd’s pie that’s not only hearty but also oozing with cheesy goodness. Trust me, your family will appreciate this upgrade from the classic recipe!

Cheesy Shepherd’s Pie ### Ingredients:

1 pound ground beef (or lamb if you’re feeling fancy)
1 cup frozen peas and carrots (let’s not skip the veggies!)
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups mashed potatoes (homemade or store-bought—no judgment here!)
1-2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or your favorite melty friend)
1 can (10.5 oz) of cream of mushroom soup
1 cup canned gravy (because who has time to make gravy from scratch?)
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Like a warm-up for a chef—let’s get that oven ready!
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until it’s browned. Drain any extra grease because nobody likes a greasy dish unless you’re going for that gourmet look!
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Stir it up and let it cook until the onions become translucent. Bam! Kitchen magic!
Mix in the frozen peas and carrots. Let them join the party for about 3-4 minutes.
In a separate bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup and canned gravy. It’s time to bring those flavors together—give them a stir!
Now, pour the soup and gravy mixture into the skillet with the beef and veggies. Mix well and season with salt and pepper to your liking. Taste it—dance a little jig if it’s good!
Spread the beef mixture into a baking dish. Now, dollop (isn’t that a fun word?) the mashed potatoes on top. Use a fork to make those classic potato swirls. Ooh, la la!
Sprinkle the shredded cheese generously on top. More cheese? Yes, please!
Bake in the oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Keep an eye on it—no one likes burnt edges!
Once it’s ready, take it out and let it cool for a few minutes. Then serve it up and enjoy that cheesy, hearty goodness!

And there you have it—a shepherd’s pie that’s ready to steal the show at any dinner table. Don’t be surprised if your friends demand second helpings. Happy cooking!
