- 1 small onion
- 4-6 cloves of garlic
- 2 cups or 15 oz of diced tomatoes

Instructions
- The first step to making Shepards pie is to get those potatoes on the stove. Fill a large pot with hot water and put it on medium high heat on your stove. Peel and slice the potatoes. Rinse them well in a colander then add them to your pot. Boil potatoes until tender. They will take 20-45 minutes.

- Add in your tomatoes and simmer for about 10 minutes.
- When your potatoes are tender, drain all the water and transfer potatoes into your mixer, or use a hand masher. Add in 4-6 tbsp of butter, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Mix well.
- Prepare 2 standard pie pans by spraying or rubbing them with oil.
- Lay down a layer of potatoes. Flatten it out and up like you would a pie crust.
- Next, add your filling.
- Then add another layer of potatoes.
- Finally, add shredded cheese on top.
- Bake in a 375 F oven for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melty and starting to toast.
- Let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
