Image via WikipediaSometimes one has to adapt to what's on hand when it comes to making dinner, especially if one has to cook for oneself and work around the eccentric cooking schedules of housemates.
I had some ground beef I needed to find a use for, and the idea came to me: shepherd's pie.
Only not so elaborate as the classic version.
I got the ground beef browning in a fry pan and started boiling some water. Once the meat was pretty well done, I downed the heat and added a generous handful of fresh spinach.
By now the water was boiling and I turned it off, adding some dried garlic mashed potato mix. Stirring it, I added some canned peas to the meat and now wilted lettuce. Then I checked in some herbs and spices to taste, and spooned the mix into a bowl. Then I dolloped out the mashed potatoes over the top. Sometimes I add some cheese- others, a knob of butter in the potatoes.
The whole thing is done in about ten minutes, and provides a very satisfying meal.
