Shepard's pie.. Piping on the mashed potatoes with large ziploc.

Shepard's pie.. My brother's favorite! What's not to love? Meat in a creamy sauce mixed with veggies. Topped with cheese and mashed potatoes. Super cheap, super delicious. My version calls for taking your mashed potatoes, allowing them to cool, placing in a big ziploc, cut a corner and pipe on dollops on top.

Appx. 2 1/2 lbs ground beef $6.00
Meat:
2 cans cream of mushroom soup $2.00
1 c. Frozen peas $1.00
1 c. Frozen corn $1.00
1 white or golden onion $0.20
3 cloves garlic $0.10
1 tsp garlic salt*

Potatoes:
6 medium russet potatoes $1.50
1/2 c. Sour cream $1.00
1/3 c. Milk*
2 tbsp. Butter or margarine*
1 tsp garlic salt*

1 c. Shredded cheese packed ( cheddar, Mozzarella, Colby, whatever you like best)

Rinse, Peel and dice potatoes.
This will allow them to cook very fast. Once finished, drain potatoes in strainer. Place in bowl. Add the sour cream, milk, butter and garlic salt. Take a hand mixer, and mix the potatoes until well mashed.. Aka.. No lumps!! Set aside and allow to cool. Preheat oven to 375. Now chop up onion and garlic. Sauté in pan with a little olive oil. About a minute. Then add ground beef. Cook until brown. Place meat in a large bowl.. Mix well with the cream of mushroom, peas and corn. Spray a 9x13 baking dish with non stick cooking spray. Pour meat mixture in to baking dish. Sprinkle cheese over the meat. Add mashed potatoes to large ziploc.. Do not seal the top of the bag. Twist it instead. You should now have a homemade piping bag. Cut the corner with scissors. Squeeze dollops of mashed potato on top of meat and cheese. Kind of keep a pattern. Once finished, bake for 35 mts. Remove when done and allow to sit for 15-20 mts.. Trust me! Enjoy!

So 3 steps:
make mashed potatoes
make meat mixture
pipe potatoes on top and bake.
