Description

These individual shepherd's pies are a comforting beef casserole topped with mashed potatoes and made in small cake pans so everyone gets their own.

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 cup frozen corn
1 tablespoon ketchup
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 cups prepared instant mashed potatoes
3/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Directions

1 Cook and stir beef and onion in a large skillet over medium-high heat until beef is browned and crumbly, about 5 minutes; drain and discard grease.
2 Reduce heat to low. Stir condensed soup, corn, ketchup, and pepper into beef mixture; cook until heated through, about 2 minutes. Divide beef mixture into four 4-inch round baking pans; spread prepared mashed potatoes over beef mixture. Place the pans on a baking sheet.
3 Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes are lightly browned, about 15 minutes.
4 Set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
5 Sprinkle cheese evenly over pies.
6 Cook under the preheated broiler until cheese is melted, about 2 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
