"Refashioned" Shepherd's Pie

One thing you need to know is that Kenny does most of the cooking at our house. I used to be an excellent cook, but over the years, as the Wandering Wardrobe grew, he got home earlier than I did, took over most of the cooking, and has surpassed me in the kitchen. But every once in awhile, I get the urge to cook dinner. Yesterday, I made a rump roast and potatoes and gravy. Since there are now only three of us living in our home, we had leftovers.

Thank you Paula Deen for suggesting the recipe I made today. She called it "Shepherd's Pie from leftover beef roast and potatoes and gravy". I call it "Refashioned Shepherd's Pie". This recipe is perfect for me, being that I sell used clothing and other stuff.

This is how you do it:

Saute' one onion in 2 T. butter. Add the left over beef roast, chopped into bite sized pieces, and the left over gravy. Heat until beef is very tender.

Spray a 9 inch baking dish with "Pam". Spoon the left over mashed potatoes into the dish and spread evenly. Add 1 package of frozen vegetables that you have microwaved until tender. Add the beef and onions, and add 1 small can sliced mushrooms, if you wish. Mix two cups biscuit mix with 1 1/2 cups milk, and pour over the top. Melt 3 T butter and dribble over the top. Bake at 350 for 35 to 45 minutes. Serve.

The picture here belongs to Paula Deen, but I think mine was even prettier. I should have taken a picture.
