Shepherds Pie

1 lb ground beef

1 onion

couple handfulls of mushrooms, sliced

couple handfulls of frozen peas

1 brown gravy packet, prepare as directed (or I suppose you could make gravy from scratch)

1 tbs Worchestershire sauce

5 russet potatoes, peel and diced

2 tbs horseradish

milk

small pat of butter

salt

pepper

paprika

~ Brown meat in cast iron skillet, add onions and mushrooms until tender, then add peas. Prepare gravy mix and add worchestershire sauce to gravy. Add gravy to meat mixture. Salt and pepper to taste.

~ Cover potatoes with cold water and boil until tender. Mash potatoes with milk, butter and horseradish until desired consistency (I leave mine a little lumpy), add salt and pepper to taste.

~ Spread mashed potatoes over the meat mixture (still in the cast iron skillet), completely covering. Sprinkle top with paprika. Bake at 400 degrees for 15-20 min until you can see the mixture bubbling. Let rest a few minutes before serving.

Thank you, Lori, for this recipe. She is a new first-time mom of twin boys and looks terrific still. Making me SICK!
