Shepherd's Pie
1 1/2 lbs extra lean hamburger meat
2 medium onions - chopped
1/2 lb mushrooms - sliced
Small can tomato juice (3-4 ozs)
1 tspn sage
Salt
Pepper
Oil
Topping
4 cups cauliflower (frozen or fresh)
1 cup shredded cheese
1 tbsp butter
Fry onions in the oil for about 5 minutes. Add sliced mushrooms and continue cooking until mushrooms are done and the onions are brown. Add the meat and seasonings and cook until meat loses pink color. (If meat is sticking to bottom of pan add a little of the tomato juice to loosen bits stuck on bottom of pan.) Add remainder of the juice and cover and cook for about 15-20 minutes.
Cook the cauliflower in boiling water. Drain. Mash with 3/4 cup shredded cheese and butter. Add a little milk if appears too dry.
Place meat mixture in 8 x 8 pan. Top with cauliflower. Sprinkle remaining cheese over top and bake @ 350F for about 30 minutes, or until top is browned.
Serves 4-6.
