Shepherd's Pie

From back of Original Mashed Potatoes box 
Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients:

• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic, crushed
• 1 lb. ground beef
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 can (14.4 ounces) Italian stewed diced tomatoes, drained
• 2.5 cups fresh green beans, cooked
• 8 servings prepared Idahoan Original Mashed Potatoes
• 1 egg, beaten

 Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. In a large frying pan, brown onion, garlic and beef.  Add salt and pepper.
3. Drain meat and place in ½ quart casserole dish.  Pour tomatoes over meat, top with green beans.  Mound potatoes on top and brush with egg. 
4. Bake for 30 minutes.  Broil for 1 minute to brown top.

Our Notes:

1. You can substitute fresh green beans for one 15-ounce can green beans drained.
2. We used frozen green beans which we cooked first and then put into the recipe.
3. I took the garlic cloves out at the end.  I think I will just chop the garlic next time and leave it in.
4. This is super yummy comfort food.
