Shepherd's Pie v1

We like Shepherds pie 'round here, so I'll probably post a few varieties. This one is pretty simple and quick. I like quick. Good helps too, as well as easy. This recipe fits two out of three. I'll let you decide which.

Shepherd's Pie v1
~1 lb ground meat of choice
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped celery
1 can condensed vegetable soup
Season to taste (thyme, parsley, pepper, celery salt, lay off the salt)
3 Cups mashed potatoes (instant works fine)
1 cup shredded cheese (Colby, Jack, Cheddar, a blend perhaps)

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 2 quart baking dish.
2. In a large skillet over med-high heat, cook meat, onion, and celery, drain.
3. Pour meat into baking dish with soup and seasonings, stir together well.
4. Spread mashed potatoes on top.
5. Bake 20 minutes. Sprinkle cheese on, and bake 5 more minutes.
6. Eat

A Few Of My Favorite Things

Custard, Cheesecake, Fresh Baked Bread, mmm. I will post recipes that I like here. You will not get my cheesecake recipe, well maybe, but I'm gonna hold onto it for a while. Some of these recipes will be from other sources, I will try to credit the author when able. Some of these will be my own (usually modifications I've found that I like), and some family recipes (thanks Moms).
As this is a secret blog I don't expect many visitors, but if by some bizzare twist of fate you find a recipe and try it, let me know what you think.
