Did you have Shepherd’s Pie growing up? \u00a0I did not but I sure love it now. \u00a0This recipe makes quick work of getting it on the table since you don’t have to make the potatoes for the topping or do any chopping or dicing. \u00a0Filled\u00a0with ground beef, mixed vegetables and of all things tomato bisque soup or canned Campbell’s tomato soup the flavors are so delicious. \u00a0We think it is ever better when served the next day. \u00a0At our house we enjoy left overs almost as much as the first cooking. \u00a0This is a recipe to double and make two since it freezes great. \u00a0Make one, share one it will be “The Best You Ever Made”!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Notes<\/h3>
      <\/div>
      Tidbit Tip:\u00a0 \u00a0Place baking dish on a cookie sheet covered in foil.\u00a0 Will help with clean up if the casserole bubbles over.<\/span>
      <\/div>\nTo Freeze:\u00a0 Use a freezer, oven proof pan for cooking.\u00a0 Follow above directions but do not add the cheese.<\/span>
      <\/div>\nTo Serve after being frozen:\u00a0 \u00a0Place frozen casserole on foil covered cookie sheet.\u00a0 Bake uncovered to 40 to 50 minutes until hot and bubbly.\u00a0 \u00a0Remove from oven; add the cheese and let stand 10 minutes before serving.\u00a0<\/span>
      <\/div>\nThis casserole is even better the next day when the flavors have combined and it firms up.\u00a0<\/span>
