Easy shepards pie

This is one from my mommy!
1 clove  garlic minced
1 small onion diced
1lb ground beef
4 cups mashed potatoes
1 envelope brown gravy mix
1 cup water
1 can peas and carrots
1/2 cup each shredded of
sharp cheddar and monteray jack cheese
Tips: I often use ore ida steam and mash potatoes from the freezer section, they taste the same and takes half the time.
Also you can substitute and canned veggies and cheeses of your choice.

Step one: pre-heat oven to 350°.brown ground beef with onion and garlic. Prepare mashed potatoes.

Step two: add packet of brown gravy mix and water to ground beef mixture until coated.

Step three: in your casserole dish layer ground beef, followed by your canned veggies, then your mashed potatoes and top with your cheese.

Step four: bake for about 35-45 minutes. Or until cheese is melted and everything is bubbly.
