My Favorite Shephard's Pie

My mother made a lot of hearty soulful foods when I was growing up. One of my favorites and siblings favorite still to this day, is Shepherd's Pie.

This is great to make with leftover mashed potatoes or ground beef. You can make it in individual helpings or one large casserole dish full of goodness. Anyway you make it, it's awesome!

This is the way I grew up making it, along with a little extra flavor that I've added over the years. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

  • 1lb ground beef
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1 pkg brown gravy mix
  • 2lbs potatoes
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 4 green onions
