Leftover Lagniappe a/k/a Shepherd’s Pie

  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 3/4 C chicken stock
  • 2 T cold water
  • 1 T cornstarch
  • 2 T Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 bag frozen seasoning blend
  • 1 Can tomatoes or one fresh, chopped
  • 2-3 cups assorted veggies (peas, corn, carrots, limas)
  • 4-6 servings mashed potatoes (instant is fine)

When you have leftover peas, carrots, etc., freeze and save for Shepherd’s night. Saute ground beef, add seasoning blend & cook til onions are translucent. Add other veggies, stock, Worcestershire, salt & pepper to taste. Simmer. Dissolve cornstarch in water and stir into meat mixture. Spoon into 9×11 baking dish. Make mashed potatoes. Top meat mixture with mashed potatoes. Bake 30-35 minutes at 350 until lightly browned. Wonderful on a cold winter night & a kid’s favorite!
