Super Easy Shepherd's Pie

This is a recipe post for my friend Gen... and for others who want it, of course.

Super Easy Shepherd's Pie

• leftover mashed potatoes
• 1 lb. lean hamburger meat
• chopped onions
• thyme, salt, pepper, bay leaves... whatever seasonings you want
• 2 tbs flour
• "some" beef stock
• frozen veggies

Preheat your oven to 350.
Brown 1 pound of hamburger meat with some onions.
Add some thyme, salt, and pepper. I sometimes add a bay leaf or two if I feel like it.
Throw in 2 tbs of flour and "some" beef stock. Use your eye - you're just trying to thicken it some.
Add some frozen veggies of your choosing. Usually I like to use frozen corn and peas, though on occasion I use mixed veggies.
Cook until thawed.
Pour this mixture into an oven safe casserole dish.
Spread leftover mashed potatoes on top.
Bake for 25 minutes.

Garnish with curly parsley you picked from your garden. Okay, okay, I'm bragging now. Did I mention I grew the thyme, too? ;-)

Enjoy!
