This dish is delicious, does not take long to prepare and is done in 30 minutes

The original recipt called for 2 t. olive oil and 1 t. trans-fat-free margarine in which you cook the eggs. I just used Pam spray and it worked out fine.

My husband and 2 boys love the traditional Shepherd's pie with gravy, mashed potatoes and lots of cheese. As I made this, I thought "none of my boys are going to eat this." Boy, was I wrong! Everyone cleaned their plates, and my husband even declared this recipe to be a "keeper!"

From "The South Beach Diet Supercharged."
Note that the recipe calls for vegetable broth, but I used low sodium chicken broth that I had on-hand. I also substituted 3 tsp of minced garlic for 3 cloves of garlic.

Original recipe called for pecans but I had walnuts and thought they were pretty good. I had to adjust my ingredients to make a batter that could be made into balls.

Garlic and toasted slivered almonds make ordinary green beans extra special. Prepare the beans in batches if you do not have a large enough skillet, keeping the first round warm until the second batch is ready.

Yummy and healthy!
