Shepherd's Pie

I can't believe I haven't posted this recipe already. My boys love it. Every single one of them. And the recipe itself is so simple and versatile that you can usually make it without a special trip to the grocery store.

Ingredients:
Mashed potatoes - fresh or made from instant
1 can of whole kernel corn
1/2 chopped onion (or dried minced onion)
1 pound of meat - sausage or hamburger
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup of shredded cheese (more or less depending upon your love of cheese)

Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
2. Begin browning the meat of your choice together with the chopped onions. I'm a big fan of breakfast sausage.
3. Prepare the mashed potatoes. I prefer homemade but instant is, well, faster.
4. Use a casserole dish and begin layering your ingredients.
I like to start with a small amount of mashed potatoes, then all the brown meat/onion, followed by the can of corn, then a thick layer of mashed potatoes (Yes, use the rest of them.), finally add a layer of shredded cheese.
5. Cover with foil.
6. Bake for 30 minutes then remove the foil for an additional baking time of 5 minutes.

Tah dah! You have meat, vegetable, and dairy all in one. You can be creative with it and add other veggies if you like.
