To keep things lightning-fast, we forgo the layered-in-a-skillet approach to shepherd's pie and instead serve the veggie-flecked beef mixture on top of a bed of creamy mashed potatoes.

This dish showed up on my menu for the Cooking Light Diet this week. It was very good and flavorful! I had the ingredients prepped and measured ahead of time so this dish did not take that long to make. My local grocery store did not sell the frozen mashed potatoes so I made my own. My family loved it and I will definately make again!
