Another delicious way to use Thanksgiving leftovers!
I layered a variety of Thanksgiving favorites in the crockpot for our weekly church fellowship potluck today. The result was very good!
Ingredients(varying amounts of each; this is a "use what you have" dish!):
Cold mashed potatoes are usually pretty clumpy too, so I added some milk to those as well and stirred.
To make your Thanksgiving "Shepherd's" Pie, layer in a greased crockpot:
The layers and flavors all kind of mix together into something very yummy and comforting! I wasn't sure how it would end up in the crockpot but was very pleased with the result.
**I had mixed feelings about putting Green Bean Casserole in this. But it tasted great--I think the extra flavors from the sauce really helped the whole dish.
Keep in mind that your crockpot should be at least half full to cook properly. I used a 5 quart and added an extra thick layer of mashed potatoes to fill it up more!
