In a cooking rut? Try one of these taste-tested, family-approved recipes using ground beef.

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.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
