Hungry Girl Super-Cheesy Crazy-EZ Sheppard's Pie

So, I have TONS of cookbooks.  Lots of recipes.  One would think I would never, ever have to wonder "what's for dinner?"  Yea, whatever.  I ALWAYS wonder what to have for dinner.  Sucks really. 

So, I'm trying to get this whole eating thing under control and found a recipe for Hungry Girl's Super-Cheesy Crazy-EZ Sheppard's Pie.  Hubby and I love Sheppard's Pie and when I saw how EASY it really is, I figured we should try it.  So, we stayed in Saturday night and made dinner.  Normally, I like to eat out, but it sure is easier eating healthy when staying in than going out.  At least for me.

While I was making dinner last night, I took photos of the process and thought I would share with you.  We have already decided we WILL be making this again.  It was delicious!

Ingredients
1 (24 oz) bag (about 6 cups) frozen Green Giant Family Size Broccoli, Carrot, and Cauliflower in Cheese Sauce
1 pouch Betty Crocker Cheddar and Sour Cream Mashed Potatoes
2 cups frozen ground beef-style soy crumbles

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Place contents of veggies and sauce bag in a large microwave-safe bowl.  Cover and microwave for 8-10 minutes until mostly thawed.

Meanwhile, in a medium-sized bowl, combine contents of potato pouch with 2 cups hot water and stir until thickened.  Set aside.

Spray an 8"x8" baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.

Add soy crumbles to the pan and evenly distribute along the bottom.

Evenly spoon saucy vegetables over crumbles.

Evenly top with potato mixture, using a spatula or spoon to smooth out the surface.

Once all ingredients are added, put in oven uncovered for 20 minutes.



Doesn't this look delicious?  We have two meals left from this recipe.  Oh so good!

  1. Aside from the soy crumbles that would probably kill me, this looks and sounds good. I'm sure it wouldn't be so "hungry girlish" if I used real meat, but it still would be super easy. Thanks for sharing a quick and easy meal!

  2. I would think the points would go up a tad, but lean ground beef would work just fine. With the crumbles it's 2 points, it might go up to 3 or 4 with lean ground beef. Totally worth it.

    And it IS an easy meal. I couldn't find a 24 oz. bag of veggies, so I got 2 boxes of 10 oz. Worked out. Maybe would have been nicer to have more vegetables, but not much I could do about that. Stupid grocery store...
