Jazzed Up Shepards Pie
My fiance loves Shepards Pie, however, I have always found it rather bland. I came up with this "jazzed up" version to suit my tastes a little more than the traditional recipe. 1/2 lb ground beef 1/2 onion, chopped 2 cloves of garlic, chopped tomato juice 1 beef bouillon cube frozen corn (or used canned) Velveeta cheese 1 prepared pie crust 6 potatoes, diced and peeled 2 cloves garlic butter milk or 1/2 and 1/2 Brown ground beef. Drain well. Add onion and cook for about 5 minutes until onions are tender. Add garlic, cook for a couple minutes. Add tomato juice until mixture is the consistency of sloppy joes.
