Impossible Bacon Cheeseburger Shepherd’s Pie

Have you ever heard of bacon cheeseburger shepherd’s pie? I had not until I came across this insanely delicious recipe in my mom’s Betty Crocker cookbook. At first, I couldn’t believe it would taste like a cheeseburger but I am here to tell you, it does and it’s delicious!

I shared this picture in a soup bowl but I made it in a 9×13 pan. No baking necessary.

Imagine a juice hamburger mixed with potato that gives you the best cheeseburger shepherd’s pie. So yummy!

If you love cheese, feel free to add more than the recipe calls for. Melted cheese is the best!

My dad loved the fact that he was able to eat the “blog post” immediately following the photo shoot.

There were about two servings in this bowl so he did share with my mom. My mom said, that almost looks to good to eat.Be careful when you add the Worcestershire sauce , it goes along way and a teaspoon is plenty!

Same goes for the ketchup.

The kids, my grandparents and my parents loved this cheeseburger shepherd’s pie.

Try this recipe, it’s a winner for sure. I cheated and used instant potatoes and the microwavable bacon.

I prefer homemade mashed potatoes and if I had thought of it earlier, I would have asked my grandmother to make some.
