Hi Everyone! I hope your Friday is going well, this week has gone by too quickly.

Today's recipe is what we had for last night's dinner. I found this recipe while searching through blogs and websites a few days ago and it totally caught my attention, to the point where I added the ingredients to my grocery list on Wednesday and picked them up yesterday for dinner.

Of course it wouldn't be normal if I didn't CHANGE the original recipe in one way or another, so here's my new version of the recipe called Saucy Barbecue Shepherd's Pie...(It was DELICIOUS!!) Enjoy!

Saucy Barbecue Shepherd's Pie

Meat Sauce:
1 lb. ground beef
1 diced onion
1 tsp. minced garlic
worchestershire sauce, to taste
few drops of tabasco sauce
1 cup homemade or cartoned beef stock
1 cup barbecue sauce
1 cup water
2 tbsp. teriyaki sauce
1 tbsp. black pepper
1 tbsp. garlic powder
2 cups mixed frozen vegetables, (carrots, corn, peas and green beans)
1 pkg. instant mashed potatoes or warmed up leftovers
shredded cheddar cheese

Brown ground beef. Add onions, garlic, worchestershire and tabasco sauces. Mix well and simmer for 20 minutes then drain fat from pan.

Combine beef stock and barbecue sauce and mix well. Pour over meat mixture in pan then add water, teriyaki sauce, seasonings and vegetable and simmer until heated through.

Pour meat mixture in the bottom of a 2-quart baking dish, top with potatoes and grated cheese. Cover with tinfoil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and broil pan until cheese is browned and bubbly.

Let sit for 10 minutes to cool before cutting.
