"Life is either a great adventure or nothing." This quote by Helen Keller is how I feel about life! Most of my adventures happen in the walls of my own home. I have one son, two beautiful daughters, and a husband that makes me smile! We explore and have fun together. My blog is meant to document our family's adventures and share them with our friends and family.

Shepherd's Pie


Shepherd's Pie

4 carrots
1 onion, chopped
1 pound lean ground beef
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
1/4 cup ketchup
1 1/2 cups beef broth
1/2 cup frozen corn
1/2 cup frozen peas
3 to 4 cups mashed potatoes
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, if desired

Peel and slice carrots. Cook in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Cook onion and ground beef until onions are clear and ground beef is browned. Push onion to the side in the pan and add butter and flour. Stir together until bubbly. Add ketchup and beef broth. Stir all together in pan and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and spoon into the bottom of disposable foil baking pan(s). This recipe serves about 6 to 8. Freeze it in multiple pans if this is too much for one meal at your house. Increase the recipe if you need more for your family. Spoon mashed potatoes over the top of the filling. For St. Patrick's Day, spoon potatoes around the edges of the pan. Form more potatoes into shamrock shape(s) and arrange over the filling. Cover, label and freeze.Bake 30 to 60 minutes (depending on the size of the pan) until the filling is bubbly and the potatoes are browned. Top with cheese, if desired, and bake about 5 minutes longer.
