shepard's pie

almost everyone i know has tried some variation of this, but this is my favorite way to make it, so here you go:

1 lb. lean ground beef
1 eggs
1/2 c italian seasoned bread crumbs
1/2 jar/can spaghetti sauce
1/2 c parmesan cheese
1 can yellow sweet corn
6 servings of your favorite kind of mashed potatoes
1 c sour cream
1 c shredded cheddar

mix meat, eggs, bread crumbs, spaghetti sauce, parmesan, and corn together by hand. press into loaf pan. bake at 350 for 1 hour. press out grease and drain.

while meat is cooking, make your mashed potatoes. stir in sour cream and shredded cheese while still hot. spread over meatloaf. serves 6.

* for freezer: line pan w/ waxed paper before pressing meat into pan. freeze before baking. once frozen, you can remove the meat from the pan and store in a freezer bag. when ready to make, return to loaf pan and thaw 2 days in fridge. bake as directed above and make mashed potatoes while it's baking. (you can probably make the mashed potatoes ahead of time, but i've never tried it since i generally use instant potatoes and not the real thing)
