People are always asking what they can make for our family when they have us over or bring meals in. One of my favorite foods as a kid was Shepherd's Pie and it's normally gluten free. I'm so glad we got reintroduced. If you are trying to go gluten free this is an easy, cheap and comforting meal that the whole family will love. I usually double the recipe and make an extra pan to have for breakfast and after school snacks.
Shepherd's Pie
Put a pot of water on the stove to boil. Scrub 6-9 potatoes and slice about an inch thick. Place these in the boiling water to cook. While you are doing this work on the hamburger mixture.
Brown a pound of hamburger (I raided my parent's organic beef) with a chopped onion. Add a handful of seasoning salt of your choice and 1 t of pepper. Once the hamburger is browned, add a can of corn, a can of green beans and a can of tomato sauce. Take off heat.
Heat the oven to 375.
Your potatoes are done if they are soft when you stick a fork in them. Drain off the water and add about a cup of chicken broth. Mash up your potatoes with a large fork or you can use an electric mixer but I like my potatoes chunky.
Dump the hamburger mixture into the bottom of a 9 by 11 cake pan. Spread it out evenly. Then drop the mashed potatoes by spoonful onto the hamburger.
Spread the potatoes out smoothly.
Then top with your favorite kind of cheese. Note: Gluten intolerance and lactose intolerance go hand in hand. I try to keep dairy out of the house too but sometimes you just need cheese.
Cook the casserole until the cheese is all the way melted.
Serve while warm.
