Shepherd's Pie is a classic British dish that dates back to the 18th century. It's a meat and vegetable pie that is topped with mashed potatoes and baked until golden and bubbly. Traditionally, Shepherd's Pie is made with lamb, hence the name. However, this recipe uses ground beef instead, which is a more affordable and easier to find option. The mixed vegetables used in this recipe are a combination of peas, carrots, green beans, and corn, but you can use any veggies you like. This dish is perfect for a cozy family dinner or for meal prepping.

Instructions

1.	Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
2.	In a large mixing bowl, mix together the cooked ground beef, thawed mixed vegetables, cream of mushroom soup, milk, onion powder, and black pepper.
3.	Pour this mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
4.	Layer the hot mashed potatoes on top of the beef mixture, smoothing it out evenly.
5.	Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese over the potatoes.
6.	Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the dish is heated through.
