Shepherd's Pie Casserole Recipe

Disclosure: This Shepherd's Pie Casserole recipe has been sponsored by Country Crock.

Shepherd's Pie Casserole is one of my families favorite recipes. I have been making it as long as I have been married and it was a recipe my husband's mother made for him when he was a kid.

I was making this recipe for about 20 years before I knew it was called Shepherd's Pie.

For years, this recipe was called Matamooscaboosca in my house. I'm not even sure if that is how it is spelled because I am pretty sure my mother-in-law made up that name when she was cooking this quick and easy casserole recipe for my husband and his siblings.

Let me break it down phonetically for you Mata-moos-ca-ba-boosca. Did you get that?

Because I felt ridiculous saying that name for many, many years. Matter of fact once I found out it was actually a Shepherds Pie recipe I never again referred to it as Matamooscaboosca.

But anytime I told my husband I was making Shepherds Pie for dinner he would say, "You mean you're making Matamooscaboosca." Yeah, well you know what they say. You can't teach an old dog new tricks.....

And yes I have been using Country Crock just as long as I have been making this recipe.

This easy casserole recipe comes together in the amount of time it takes to brown a pound of ground beef. While your browning the ground beef make the instant mashed potatoes and shred the cheese.

Once the ground beef is cooked and drained you simply layer the ingredients into a baking dish and your done.

Pop it into the microwave to melt the cheese or heat a larger casserole dish in the oven.

This Shepherd's Pie Casserole also makes a great freezer meal!

    I've always called it Hamburger Pie. I use a can of cut green beans. My boys absolutely love it. They are grown now, but my husband still asks for it.
