Introduction
This is a great way to use roast left overs as well - I have added the roast beef cut up, left over mashed potatoes and like to save the gravy(I freeze it) but this is the basic recipe using good ol ground beef.

My son enjoyed this, but I have had better shepherd's pie. I personally would cut the amount of mashed potatoes next time and omit the mustard, which I thought gave it an odd taste. I didn't think it was necessary to avoid the onion flakes in the soup mix...it was just fine to include them. - 1/12/14
