This is an easy shepherd's (cottage) pie topped with wonderful garlic and Romano potatoes. You can change the ingredients to add almost anything you like. Kids love this, and it's even better after sitting for a day. You should have most of the ingredients on hand, so no trips to the grocery are required! You can substitute any cheese for the Romano, as well.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 1 pound ground beef

  • ½ cup chopped onion

  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary

  • 1 teaspoon dried basil

  • 2 (15 ounce) cans mixed vegetables, drained

  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained

  • 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce

  • 2 pounds red potatoes

  • ½ cup butter

  • ½ cup grated Romano cheese

  • ⅓ cup milk

  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a medium baking dish.

  2. Place beef and onion in a large skillet over medium heat. Season with rosemary and basil. Cook and stir until beef is evenly browned; drain grease. Mix in mixed vegetables, diced tomatoes, and tomato sauce. Cook and stir until vegetables are heated through. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.

  3. Place potatoes in a large pot with enough water to cover; bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and drain.

  4. Add butter, Romano cheese, milk, garlic, salt, and oregano to potatoes in the pot. Mash together with a potato masher until smooth. Spread mashed potatoes over beef and vegetable mixture in the baking dish.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Turn the oven broiler to high and continue cooking until the top of potatoes are golden brown, about 3 minutes.
