Greek Shepherd's Pie

Greek Shepherd's Pie (Shepherdopoulos Pie)
from Looneyspoons by Janet and Greta Podleski

4 medium potatoes, peeled and quartered
1/2 cup skim milk or buttermilk
1/2 tsp salt
1 lb. extra lean ground beef
1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1/4 cup minced onions
1 egg white
1 TBSP ketchup
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 large tomato, sliced thinly
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/4 cup shredded reduced-fat Swiss cheese (1 oz)
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (1 oz)
1/2 10-oz package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry

Cook potatoes in a large pot of boiling water until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain well. Add milk and salt. Mash until smooth; set aside.

In a large bowl, combine beef, bread crumbs, onions, egg white, ketchup, garlic, and black pepper. Mix well (using hands works best). Pat beef mixture over bottom and up sides of a 9" pie plate.

Layer tomato slices over beef. Sprinkle oregano over tomatoes. Spread Swiss cheese and feta cheese over tomatoes. Top cheese with chopped spinach. Spoon mashed potatoes over spinach. Spread evenly, leaving a 1" border around edges. (Meat and potatoes should not touch.) Smooth top.

Bake at 350 for 45 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes. Slice into wedges and serve.

Serves 4-6.
