Crockpot Shepherd’s Pie Recipe

The Ingredients.

3 cups leftover mashed potatoes1 lb. ground turkey or beef2 cloves garlic, chopped2 cups frozen vegetables (I used roasted corn and peas)1 medium onion, chopped finely, or 1 T onion flakes1/2 tsp seasoned salt1/2 tsp onion powder1/4 tsp black pepper1/4 tsp paprika (then a bit more for garnish)1 cup water2 cups shredded cheese
The Directions.Use a 4-quart crockpot---it was the perfect size. If have bigger one its fine doesn’t worry however it will cook faster keep this in mind before you start! Brown the meat and onion on the stove make sure you drain any fatNext mix in the spices and garlic you can do it in frying pan or just mix it all together your choice I would pick in the frying pan.

Make sure you spray the inside of the crockpot with cooking spray.
Next put the meat in the bottom of the crockpot and stir in the frozen vegetables.Don’t forget a cup water!
Next add two cups of cheeseNow mashed potatoes yes after the cheese and the meat.
If you like next sprinkle paprika your choice!

Make sure to cover it and cook on low for 6 hours or high take 3.
Once you pick witch one you’re going to do take lid off and cook high 30 minutes. You will see the potatoes to brown a bit on top!

Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or high for about 3, then remove the lid and cook on high for 30 minutes to release the condensation and allow the potatoes to brown a bit on top. Everything is cooked already, so you're just allowing the flavors to meld and the potatoes to crustily.
