Kid's Shepards Pie

Rated : Tried, tested, OK!

Very easy to do this. But you must have a little toaster oven...no need BIG TIME OVEN! Also no need to do the pastry pie crust!

For topping :
1-2 All purpose potatoes or U.S. potatoes - boil or steamed till soft
A slab of butter
Huge dollop of cream cheese
Warm milk
Pinch of salt (since cream cheese isn't very salty)

When potatoes are soft, mash them together with butter, cream cheese, salt. Add warm milk until it reaches a consistency of creamy mash.

For filling :
2 shallots - sliced
2-3 matchstick box size mince chicken/beef/pork.
Diced carrots
Frozen peas/corn
Some tomato ketchup (Heinz or Del Monte...cannot Maggi or someother chap-a-lang brand!)

Fry shallots in hot oil. Add carrots and peas/corn until soft. Add in Tomato Ketchup and then the meat. Stir fry until all cooked and whack into a metal bowl.

Slather on the potato mash and smoothen. Sprinkle with some grated cheese (optional). Put inside the little toaster oven for like a couple minutes or wait till you see the top becoming golden brown. Serve!

Phhoooowwahhhhhh... See ? Easy Peasy..no need pie crust!
