Shepherds Pie:
Brown about a pound and a half of ground meat with an onion and some mushrooms. I use ground venison, but you can use ground beef, veal or even turkey. Season with salt and pepper and about a half dozen dashes of Worcestershire Sauce. Add a bag of mixed vegetables and about 3/4 cup of water. During this time, you want to boil about 8-10 potatoes to prepare for mashing. With about a half cup of milk and a big glob of butter, beat the potatoes while adding in a tablespoon of Garlic Powder. The mashed potatoes need to be smooth. Personally when I am eating mashed potatoes, I like them lumpy. Put the meat and vegetable mixture in the bottom of a 9 x 12 baking dish. Coat the top with the mashed potatoes, being careful not to mix the meat and potatoes too much. Use a fork to rough the top of the potatoes and form peaks.
Bake at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes, until the peaks in the potatoes brown. The last 2-3 minutes, put it under the broiler if needed.
