Shepherd's Pie is a traditional British dish that consists of a layer of ground meat, usually lamb or beef, mixed with vegetables and topped with mashed potatoes. This recipe is my favourite version of the dish, using classic ingredients such as ground beef and canned cream soup. It's a family-friendly meal that is easy to make and always hits the spot.

Instructions

1.	Peel the potatoes and cook in boiling salted water until tender.
2.	Meanwhile, brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat, mixing in the onion and garlic salt as you go.
3.	Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and cream soup and heat until bubbly and hot, stirring occasionally.
4.	Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
5.	In a 2-quart casserole dish, spread the beef mixture evenly on the bottom and top it with the frozen corn.
6.	Mash the potatoes with a potato masher and spoon the mashed potatoes over the top.
7.	Cut the cheese slices into quarters and arrange over the top of the mashed potatoes.
8.	Bake until the cheese is melted and the pie is heated through and bubbly, for about 20 to 25 minutes.

PROS

My Favourite Shepherd’s Pie is a classic and comforting meal that is easy to make with simple ingredients.

It’s a one-pot dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or bringing to a potluck.

CONS

This dish contains a fair amount of fat from the ground beef and cheese, so it should be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.

Also, the canned cream soup contains a high amount of sodium.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

This dish is a good source of protein from the ground beef and contains vitamins and minerals from the potatoes and corn.
However, to make it healthier, consider swapping the ground beef for ground turkey or chicken and using fresh, whole ingredients instead of canned soup.
