Quick & Easy Shepherd’s Pie

This is the kind of meal I like when I’m short on time.  With purchased pre-made ingredients, you can get that “made from scratch taste”, and your supper will be on the table in less than 30 minutes.  “Delicious”!

• 2 (17-oz) pkgs. fully cooked beef tips with gravy (found in the meat department)
• 1 cup frozen corn, thawed
• 1 cup frozen sweet peas, thawed
• 24-oz. pkg. refrigerated mashed potatoes
• 1/2 (8-oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened
• 1 tablespoon butter, softened
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

Cook beef according to package directions.  Spoon beef into a lightly greased 11 x 7″ baking pan.  Top with corn and peas; set aside.

Cook potatoes according to package directions; spoon potatoes into a bowl.  Add cream cheese, butter and garlic powder; beat at medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth.  Spread potato mixture over vegetables; sprinkle with cheese.

Bake, uncovered at 350 degrees for 15 minutes or until thoroughly heated.

Serves 8.
