Aunt Lou here.

You know the old saying, "Third times a charm!"? Well, that was the case with this recipe! You see, I adapted this recipe from an oven recipe in Gooseberry Patch's 101 Homestyle Favorites. What we don't always share is the fun behind recipe development, but it can be quite a process.

You see, the first time, I made this, I didn't reduce the amount of liquid in the recipe quite enough, so we had more of a Crock Pot Shepherd's Pie Soup. (We literally put it through a strainer before we ate it!) Not really what I had in mind. The second time I made this, I was on vacation…and I grabbed the wrong cookbook. Ugh. So I did it from memory as best as I could. It turned out pretty good, but took a while to make, so I wanted to try it one more time to see if I could find a shortcut. And whaddya know, it worked! So now you have Crock Pot Shepherd's Pie just for you!

How to Make Shepherd's Pie in a Crock Pot

1. Brown your ground beef with your onion in a skillet over medium-high heat, drain
2. Boil your potatoes, drain and mash with 1 tablespoon of milk (OR prepare your instant mashed potatoes per package instructions and add additional 2 tablespoons of butter to make them spreadable)
3. Mix together your beef mixture, brown gravy mixes, garlic powder, onion powder, carrots, peas and cream of mushroom soup
4. Spray your crock pot with cooking spray
5. Pour your beef mixture into your crock pot
6. Spoon your mashed potatoes on top and spread evenly
7. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 8 hours

Crock Pot Shepherd's Pie Notes:

• I have made this with homemade mashed potatoes and with instant potatoes. We liked it both ways because we have found some instant potatoes that we absolutely love. However, if you hate instant mashed potatoes, go ahead and make your own! It was yummy both ways!
• I made this recipe twice in my Hamilton Beach Intellitime Slow Cooker and once in my Hamilton Beach Multi-Quart Slow Cooker. Both did a great job. You can use your favorite 6-quart crock pot.
• You can adjust this recipe to meet your family's needs. Don't like peas, leave 'em out! Love carrots, add some more in! Do note though that as the recipe is, it almost fills a 6-quart crock pot, so adjust the size of your crock pot accordingly if you are adding a ton more veggies.
• As with any of our recipes, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly depending on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish.
• All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline and should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.
