This shepherd's pie with cheese, ground beef, condensed vegetable soup, and onions is smothered in mashed potatoes and baked for a hot, hearty dinner.

Ingredients

cooking spray
1 pound lean ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped celery
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can condensed vegetable soup
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
3 cups mashed cooked potatoes
1 cup shredded Colby longhorn cheese

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish with cooking spray.
2 Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef, onion, and celery in the hot skillet until beef is browned and crumbly. Drain and discard grease.
