Shepherd's Pie

Origin: I belong to a church group in which I get to spend a lot of time with the youth.  One of the mother's of the girls I work with provided this recipe to demonstrate for them.  It is a cheap, easy quick recipe, every college student's dream. 

You will need: (Picture shows for double the recipe)

1 can of beans
1 can of corn
1 can of tomato soup
1-2 lbs of ground beef
2 cups of instant potato pearls (made up with 4 cups of water on the stove top)
Shredded cheese
Spices (Optional: minced onion, garlic powder, Worcester sauce, season salt)

Start by browning the ground beef.  This tool worked great to make the meat small.  It is not necessary because a spatula will work too.  While cooking, we added the spices.

Once the meat is small enough and cooked thoroughly, drain it and then add the tomato soup and stir to blend it in.

Layer the vegetables any order.  We started with the beans.

And then we added the corn.

We added the cheese as seen below, but we added a little too much.  Add as much or little as you like.

We made up the instant potatoes while boiling the 4 cups of water and then added the 2 cups of potato pearls and stirred.  We then added the instant potatoes on top of the cheese and placed it in the oven for about 20 minutes.
