Shepard's Pie Recipe-A Recipe for Ground Beef

I had never tried Shepard’s Pie until a friend of mine kept raving about it. So, I looked up Shepard’s Pie Recipes online and found one I thought I’d try. I changed it up a little bit to match my vegetable preferences and tried it. Now it is one of my favorite dishes. It seems like it’s a very good meal during cold weather. So, I thought I would share my Shepard’s Pie Recipe with all of you so that you can enjoy this filling meal as well. I will warn you, this is a very meat and potato type dish.

1 clove of minced garlic

1 can of corn

1 can of sweet peas

2. When potatoes are soft, drain water and place in mixing bowl.
