Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.

It's amazing how quickly a shepherd's pie can come together with a few choice shortcuts. Using frozen mixed veggies saves tons of prep time, and you can even use instant mashed potatoes as an easy secret trick.

1 can (10 ounce size) condensed cheddar cheese soup
3 cups hot mashed potatoes
1 pound ground beef
2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt
Make topping by combining 1/2 can condensed soup with hot mashed potatoes; set aside.
In non-stick fry pan, brown ground beef at medium-high heat until cooked through. Drain excess fat.
Meanwhile, cook mixed vegetables according to package directions; add to fry pan and stir into beef with remaining soup, Worcestershire sauce and pepper.
Spoon meat mixture into 8 x 8 x 2 inch square baking pan. Spread reserved potato mixture evenly over surface. Bake at 400 degrees F for 20 minutes or until topping is light golden.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
Pizza night is always a favorite, especially when you have great tasting pizza from some of the most popular restaurants.
