So one of the things that I LOVE doing that since being pregnant and moving I haven't had that much of an opportunity to do is cook. I really have a passion for it but sadly exhaustion and trying to get to know a new town just don't bode well for a cook!
For today - my take on Shepard's Pie - chicken instead of beef!!!
1/2 Cup chopped onion
1/2 Cup sliced carrot
1/2 Cup sliced celery
1/2 Cup quartered zucchini
1 Tablespoon butter
1/2 lb VELVETTA, cubbed (I tend to use more b/c I love it really cheesy)
1/4 Cup milk, divided (make sure it's at room temperature)
2 Tablespoons white wine
2 Cups chopped cooked chicken (I tend to use rotisserie chicken as it's really tender)
1/8 Teaspoon pepper
2 Cups cubed cooked potatos
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees!
Cook and stir onion, carrot, celery and zucchini in butter over medium heat until crisp tender.
Reduce the heat to low; stir in 1/2 of the Velveeta , 2 tablespoons milk and wine. Cook 2 minuets or until cheese is melted (be sure to stir often!)
Add in chicken and pepper and then spoon in mixture into a pie plate or dish. I chose to use a lasagna pan.
Mash potatoes - once you cook them make sure they are drained well and then start mashing! Make sure to add some milk and the rest of the Velveeta!
Spoon cheesy mashed potato's over the chicken mixture. Bake 25 minutes!! This serves about 6 people!!! Enjoy!!
