Skillet Shepherd's Pie

One of our staffers discovered this on a summer Sunday night when she was in a pinch for dinner. A hot, filling dinner that doesn't need the oven.


1 lb ground beef
½ c tomato powder
¼ c dehydrated onions, rehydrated
1 tsp salt
1 bag frozen vegetable blend
6 cups reconstituted potato pearls
Grated cheese

Brown the ground beef in an electric skillet with the salt and the rehydrated onions. Add the tomato powder and water needed to constitute it into the skillet. Once it is bubbling, add the vegetables and cook until all ingredients are warmed. Spread the potatoes over the top of the mixture, sprinkle the cheese on top and cover the electric skillet. Keep on medium low heat for 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted.
