Shepherds Pie: Revamped

Although I already have a recipe for shepherds pie, this is the new and improved version.  Give this new version a try!!

Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground beef
• smashed potatoes (6-8 potatoes worth)
• 1 can corn
• 1/2 a large onion
• 1/4 green bell pepper
• 3 cloves garlic
• parsley
• salt and pepper
• 1 pinch cumin
• 1/2 package french onion soup mix
• 2 bay leaves

How to:

1. Begin by sautéing the garlic, onion, and pepper.  Once translucent add in the beef and cook until brown.
2. Once brown add in parsley, bay leaf, onion soup mix, and corn.
3. Continue cooking for 15 minutes.  There will be excess liquid in the pan and you want to make sure that is cooked off, when that is the meat is ready.
4. In a casserole pan with deep walls pour in the meat mixture.
5. Then using the smashed potatoes in the recipe provided above, layer that on top of the meat.  You want about a inch layer of potatoes, over the meat.
6. Sprinkle parmesan cheese over the top and place in a 350 oven to bake for another 10-15 minutes.
7. Then serve and enjoy!!
