Shepherd's Pie II
"I prefer stew meat instead of ground beef, but either could be used. Frozen mixed vegetables can reduce preparation time. I usually make extra mashed potatoes for a meal the day before and save them for this."

Good meal and it reheats well. I have made this in the past but loved the addition of garlic and brown gravy mix. -
Came out better than I thought. I used frozen succotash for the veggies. Really tasty. I put it under the broiler for about three minutes to make the potatoes slightly crispy....I'll be making this again.
