There are many ways to make shepherd's pie. You can prepare it in the slow cooker or create a new version by changing some ingredients. (This cauliflower shepherd's pie is definitely worth a try.) But if you are looking for the fastest way to make a shepherd's pie, this recipe is for you. As long as you have a few minutes to brown some ground beef, the rest is basically just assembly.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef

  • cup ketchup

  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

  • 8 ounces frozen mixed vegetables (such as carrots, peas, and corn), thawed

  • ¼ cup (1 ounce) shredded Cheddar (optional)

  • 1 16-ounce package mashed potatoes, refrigerated or frozen and thawed

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 400°F.

  2. Place the beef in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat until no trace of pink remains, about 5 minutes.

  3. Spoon off and discard any fat. Stir in the ketchup and Worcestershire. Add the vegetables and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Spoon into a baking dish.

  4. Mix the cheese (if desired) with the potatoes in a bowl. Spread over the beef and bake until heated through, 10 minutes. Divide among plates.
