Shepherds Pie

This is a great comfort food. Simple to make. This is a very basic recipe. You can spice it up if you like with a bit of garlic powder, thyme or even a bit of hot sauce.
NEED:
2 cups cooked chopped leftover beef roast
1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
2 cups beef gravy
salt and pepper
2 cups mashed potato, prepared with milk and seasonings as desired
salt and pepper
1/8 teaspoon paprika (optional)
1 tablespoon butter

You can: combine meat, gravy, onion, salt and pepper and place in the bottom of a pie pan and cover with mashed potatoes - dot with butter and sprinkle with paprika OR place 1/2 the potatoes in the bottom of a pie pan, cover with the meat, gravy, onion, salt and pepper mixture and top with rest of the potatoes - dot with butter and sprinkle with paprika.
Oven at 400 degrees. Bake for 30 minutes or until top of potatoes are browned.

Enjoy!
