One of my favourites from President’s Choice, but your own can be just as good, if not better! And, you can treat your hubby to a good homemade meal - as you just can’t beat comfort food on a frosty January day.
Ingredients
Shepherd’s pie sauce mix (found in the baking section where you would pick up dry dressings, dips and gravies)
Lean ground chicken (1 package) or beef, if you wish (I just tell Ian that the chicken is beef. With the sauce, he has no idea…)
2 cups of frozen corn (or as much as you want). You can also add peas if you so desire.
1 package of dried mashed potatoes (sound gross but they are good and REALLY easy to make. You can find them in the dry good section of the grocery store – where the Kraft dinner is and all you do is add water.)
A bit of butter or margarine
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare your mash potatoes as per the direction on the package. In a non-stick skillet/fry pan, add ground meat and brown on medium heat until almost fully cooked. Follow the directions on the sauce packet and cook meat through. Add corn and cook for about five minutes on medium heat. Pour meat mixture into a low square glass baking dish. Cover meat with mashed potatoes. Use a fork to mash the potatoes down and cover the meat (and to make a design if you wish!). Add a little bit of butter to the top of the potatoes (add little dabs in various places). Cook for 40-45 minutes until cooked through. You can broil until the top is golden brown (about 2 minutes).
Enjoy!
