ILIOS Shepherd"s Pie is the perfect cozy meal for those cold winter nights.

Ingredients:

6-8 large potatoes (peeled and quartered)

1 onion (chopped)

1 can of ILIOS sweet corn (drained)

1-2 cups of ILIOS frozen peas & carrots

1 pack of ground beef (450-500g)

1/2 cup of beef broth

1/2 cup of milk

1/2 cup butter

Salt & pepper

Recipe:

1) Preheat oven to 400°F.

2) Place the potatoes in a large-sized pot. Cover with cold water. Add a teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook until tender (about 20-30 minutes).

3) While potatoes are cooking, sauté the onions and other veggies with butter or oil until soft. Add the beef and broth once onions are translucent. Cook uncovered for an additional 10-15 minutes, adding broth as required to avoid drying out the meat. Season with salt & pepper.

4) Mash the cooked potatoes, adding milk and butter until desired consistency is achieved. Season with salt & pepper.

5) Spread the meat and vegetable mix evenly into a large baking dish. Top evenly with mashed potatoes.

6) Place in preheated oven and cook until browned and bubbling, about 30 minutes. If necessary, broil for the last few minutes to help the mashed potatoes brown. Enjoy!

Optional: For extra flavour, add a pack of gravy mix & water to your meat & veggie mix while cooking (use instead of beef broth). You can also top the shepherd's pie with shredded cheese before popping it in the oven.
