How to Make Ww Shepherd's Pie

  1. Brown 1 lb ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 stalks celery, chopped, to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef mixture with 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn), 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Mix well.
  4. Transfer the beef and vegetable mixture to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  5. Prepare 4 cups instant mashed potato flakes according to package directions, omitting the butter.
  6. Stir in 3 ounces (approximately 3/4 cup) of Cabot's 75% reduced-fat cheddar cheese (or your preferred reduced-fat cheese – adjust points accordingly).
  7. Spread the mashed potato mixture evenly over the beef and vegetable mixture.
  8. Top with the remaining 1 ounce (approximately 1/4 cup) of grated cheddar cheese.
  9. Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
