Basic Poor Man's Shepherd's Pie
"I used to call this Mashed Potato Casserole growing up, but ever since I started making it for my husband and others they all seem to recognize it as a version of Shepherd's Pie. Now that I've tried my hand at Shepherd's Pie, I can see the resemblance! So I've renamed this "Poor Man's Shepherd's Pie", as I think it's much simpler, much cheaper, and much easier to make than most Shepherd's Pie recipes. Enjoy!"

<p>I am the uber-busy mom of 4 precious kiddos. I enjoy cooking ALMOST as much as I enjoy eating! However, I have no time for dirty dishes or crazy recipes. My favorite kitchen tool is the Crockpot. Minimal mess, minimal fuss, and maximum YUM!</p>
