Favorite Recipe: Pseudo-Shepherd's Pie

This was one of the Husby's favorite things to eat as a child, so when we first started dating, I decided I should probably learn how to make it. After making it for him the first time, he said, "All my mom used to do was mix vegetable beef soup with ground beef and instant mashed potatoes. This is really good!" The secret is out...the way to a man's heart is through his stomach.

Thought I might share my Shepherd's Pie recipe creation...this is a very easy recipe to make and even the kiddos will like it. Enjoy!
