How to Make Creamy Shepherd's Pie

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown 1 lb ground beef with 1 medium onion, chopped, until cooked through. Drain any excess grease.
  2. Stir in 10.75 oz can cream of mushroom soup, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon mustard powder, and 1/2 cup milk.
  3. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a 2-quart greased casserole dish, layer half of the cooked mashed potatoes (recipe below), then half of 1 (14.5 oz) can of green beans, drained, and finally half of the meat sauce.
  5. Repeat layers with remaining potatoes, green beans, and meat sauce.
  6. Sprinkle 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
  7. Bake for 45 minutes, or until heated through and cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. **Mashed Potato Recipe:** 2 lbs russet potatoes, peeled and cubed, boiled until tender. Drain and mash with 1/4 cup butter, 1/2 cup milk, and salt and pepper to taste.
