Easy Shepherd's Pie

I was definitely craving comfort food last week when I made this. This is an awesome and easy take on classic sheppard's pie. I love how creamy the mashed potatoes are and the addition of garlic and cheddar cheese. This really hit the spot and was great to have as leftovers throughout the week too!

A great beer to pair with this would be a classic porter or irish stout.

Ingredients:

1 lb. ground beef

2 cups  hot mashed potatoes

4 oz. (1/2 of 8-oz. pkg.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, cubed

1 cup  KRAFT Shredded Cheddar Cheese, divided

2 cloves garlic, minced

4 cups  frozen mixed vegetables, thawed

1 cup beef gravy

Heat oven to 375degrees

Brown meat in a large skillet, then drain

Mix potatoes, creams cheese, 1/2cup of the cheddar cheese and garlic until well blended

Combine Meat, veggies and gravy, Spoon into a 9-inch square baking dish

Cover with Potato mixture and remaining cheese, bake for 20 minutes or until heated through

Very simple and very good!
