Daddy’s Take on Shepherd’s Pie
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  2. 2

    Put the potatoes in a large saucepan and add enough water to cover; bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain, then mash.

  3. 3

    While the potatoes cook, crumble the beef into a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir until evenly browned. Drain the grease, then stir in the condensed soup until well combined.

  4. 4

    Move the beef mixture to an 8-inch square baking dish and top with cheese. Spread the mashed potatoes evenly over the top. Dot with butter.

  5. 5

    Bake in the preheated oven until the top is golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
