Mock Shepards Pie

This is not exactly homemade but this is super simple and cheap to make. I make it for when I do not want to cook cause it does not take long at all to make.

• 1 can of beef stew
• 1/4 to 1/2 cup of water
• 1/2 box of mashed potatoes or left over mashed potatoes(even cheaper!)
• 1/2 can peas ( optional)
• salt, pepper, and butter to taste

Take the can of beef stew and water and add to pan and heat through with the optional peas.
Make the potatoes according to directions (remember it is half a box worth so read the directions) or heat the homemade potatoes and mix with salt, pepper, and butter.
Put in a casserole dish or a 9×9 pan.
Pour the heated soup on top and you are done!

You can EASILY double up this recipe and it will still be cheap.
This recipe makes 4-6 servings and it is hearty and good on a cold day.
