Shepherd's pie, Geezer's style.

Foreword.
Shepherd's pie is a staple of the English pub. It even has the two spices of English cooking; salt and pepper.All kidding aside, Shepherd's pie is a work of genius, because it is simple, good tasting and filling.

Ingredients.
1/2 lb ground beef (called mince in England)
1/2 lb spicy sausage (I use Jimmy Dean's Maple Sausage)
one can (10 3/4 oz) Campbell's Cream of Mushroom Soup
one half onion, chopped
1/2 poblano or other pepper sliced
----------------------------------------
one TBSP ketchup
one cup frozen peas+carrots or one cup frozen corn
----------------------------------------
2 and 1/2 cups of milk
2 cups instant potato
1/2 cup grated cheddar

Method.
1. Preheat oven to 400F.
2. Saute the beef and sausage.
3. Saute the onion and pepper separately then add to the meat.
4. Add the can of soup, ketchup and frozen veg and stir together.
5. Add this mix to a large pie plate or ceramic dish.
6. Bring the milk to boil and add the potatoes and cheese, mix.
7. Add potatoes on top of meat mix.
8. Bake at 400F tor 15 minutes or untill potatoes are slightly browned.

Disposition.
