I have to put up a fish-related Father’s Day greeting to honor my Hunny, Mr. Fisherman Extraordinaire. He is not only a wonderful husband, but a great father and grandfather. Happy Father’s Day to all the great men in your life.

Warming Shepherd’s Pie
This is easy to prepare and it’s a great way to use up any leftovers. If you’ve got mashed potatoes or any kind of vegetable medley left from last night’s dinner, the only thing you’ll have to prepare tonight is the ground beef.
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes
Servings: 4
Ingredients
1-1/3 cups instant mashed potato buds
1-2/3 cups milk
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon salt, divided
1 pound ground beef
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 (12-oz.) jar beef gravy
1 (10-oz.) package frozen mixed vegetables, thawed and drained
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1-2/3 cups milk
Directions
1. Preheat broiler. Prepare 4 servings of mashed potatoes according to package directions using milk, butter and ½ teaspoon salt; set aside.
2. Cook ground beef in medium broiler-proof skillet over medium-high heat, stirring to separate meat, until browned and crumbly. Drain skillet drippings.
3. Sprinkle ground beef with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and the black pepper. Add beef gravy and mixed vegetables to meat; stir well. Cook meat mixture over medium-low heat until hot, about 5 minutes.
4. Spoon the mashed potatoes in a ring around the outside edge of skillet, leaving 3-inch circle in center. Sprinkle grated Parmesan evenly over mashed potatoes.
5. Broil 4 to 5 inches from heat until Parmesan is golden, about 3 minutes.
Enjoy your week!
When life goes to pieces…. QUILT!
