Lean Shepherd's Pie

Ingredients

1/2 medium onion, chopped

4 mediums potatoes, peeled and quartered

2 cups corn kernels

8 ounces reduced fat cheddar cheese, grated

Brown ground beef with onion

Cook potatoes in water till soft, drain

Mash potatoes, add chicken broth as needed to make smooth mashed potatoes

Spread browned ground beef in bottom of 8x11 Pyrex dish

Spread mashed potatoes over beef layer

Spead corn kernels over mashed potato layer

Sprinkle grated cheese over corn layer

Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes or until heated through and cheese is melted

When the pie comes out of the oven, lightly dust the top with a little pepper if desired.

Use reduced fat cheese, lean beef and for the mashed potatoes use chicken broth, instead of milk and butter, to save fat and calories.

This is a family favorite I have made many, many times.

4 generous servings!
