Drain the Grease: Once the ground beef is fully cooked, drain any excess grease from the pan, ensuring your Shepherd’s Pie isn’t too greasy.
Step into the Crock Pot: Dump the cooked ground beef and onions into the Crock Pot, creating a flavorful base for your pie.
Add the Flavor Bombs: Pour in the water, brown gravy mix, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and ground mustard. Mix it all together until combined and spread it out evenly in the pot.
Creamy Mushroom and Corn Addition: Scoop in the condensed cream of mushroom soup and the frozen corn. Stir well and level the mixture to prepare for the next layer of deliciousness.
Mashed Potato Topping: Spread the prepared instant mashed potatoes on top of the ground beef mixture, ensuring even coverage for that perfect layer.
Set it and Forget it: Place the lid on the Crock Pot and set it to HIGH. Let it cook undisturbed for about 150 minutes.
Let It Dry Out: After 150 minutes, carefully remove the lid and continue cooking for another 60 minutes on HIGH. This step allows the mashed potatoes to dry out slightly, achieving that fluffy texture.
Serve and Enjoy: Once done, serve it up hot, and enjoy the warm, comforting goodness that is your Crock Pot Shepherd’s Pie!
