Michelle's Shepherd's Pie

 

Michelle had all the ingredients for this Shepherd's Pie when I went out for Wilbur's birth. We didn't have time to make it before he was born, but it was the perfect casserole to leave in the fridge for them to eat the day I left.

Cook some Yukon gold potatoes, then mash with butter, sour cream and thyme, and salt and pepper as well. For the filling, cook diced carrot, celery and onion, with salt and pepper and thyme and garlic powder. Add ground beef and cook until done. Stir in tomato paste and beef broth with flour to thicken. Put the filling in a casserole; top with mashed potatoes and grated cheese. Bake until heated through.

Did you notice two different serving dishes? Since I didn't get to taste the finished product, and also forgot to take pictures of the process, I made it again at home. And since my wonderful husband prefers beef cubes over ground beef, we used leftovers from our yummy 7X pot roast.
