Beef and Bacon Layer:

1 lb ground beef

6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

1 small onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup ketchup

1 tbsp yellow mustard

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Mashed Potato Topping:

3 cups mashed potatoes (homemade or store-bought)

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

2 tbsp sour cream

1/4 cup milk

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Additional Toppings:

Directions:

Cook the Beef and Bacon Layer:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain any excess grease.

Add the chopped onion and garlic to the skillet, cooking until softened, about 3 minutes.

Stir in the ketchup, mustard, salt, and pepper, then mix in the crumbled bacon. Spread the beef mixture evenly in the bottom of a 9x9-inch baking dish.

Prepare the Mashed Potato Topping:

In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, milk, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Assemble the Shepherd’s Pie:

Spread the mashed potato mixture evenly over the beef layer in the baking dish. Sprinkle the additional 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese on top.

Bake:

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese on top is melted and the edges are bubbly.

Serve:

Garnish with chopped parsley or green onions if desired, and serve warm.
