Shepherd's Pie

Yes, the name is only as cool as this little dish is.  Quick to make and hard to beat, its tasty and its cheap!

1 pound ground beef or chicken or turkey
1/2 cup ground beef mix or your favorite seasonings for ground meat
1 cup white wine or water
mashed potatoes (from 3 large potatoes)
canned or creamed corn or peas (optional)
1/2 cup Cheddar or Parmesan cheese, grated

Preheat the oven to 350.

Brown the ground meat and drain. (Rinse if you want to get more fat off.) Add the seasonings and wine or water and simmer for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile peel up the potatoes and cut into 1" chunks. Simmer until soft. Drain, mash, and add butter and milk.

Put the meat into a 9x9 baking dish. Pour the corn or peas on top if using. Cover with the mashed potatoes. Sprinkle the cheese on top. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes.
