Easy Meatloaf Mashed Potato Casserole

This is my quick and easy version of Sheppards pie - its basically an easy meatloaf recipe with creamy mashed potatoes on the top.  The potatoes are nice and creamy with a crispy crust - classic comfort food!

Ingredients:

• 1.5 - 2 lbs. ground beef
• 1 packet lipton onion soup mix (dry mix)
• 2 eggs
• 3-4 russett potatoes
• 1 cup frozen peas (optional) *defrost peas

Mashed Potatoes

• 1/4 cup butter
• 1/4 - 1/2 cup cream (to your preference)
• salt and pepper to taste

Cooking Process:

• Boil potatoes with just enough water to cover.  Once cooked, skin potatoes and mash in a bowl.  Add butter, cream, salt and pepper.  You can adjust the amount of milk to achieve consistency to your preference.  Just ensure that the potatoes aren't runny.
• In bowl, mix ground beef, onion soup mix, peas (optional) and eggs.  Mix well and flatten into a 8x6" or 8" x 8" pan.  For best results, use a ceramic pan.
• Layer mashed potatoes over meatloaf mixture and cook at 350 for 1 hour.

*Note - If you are using a metal pan, it may take up to 20 minutes longer to cook.
