Shepherd's Pie (a la my mom)

[This is (sort of) how my mother has been making Shepherd's Pie since I was a little kid. The basic recipe is still there, I just sort of tweaked it a bit.]


1 pound ground beef
1 pound frozen mixed veggies (we prefer a carrot/green pea/corn/lima bean mix)
1/2 cup water (approximately)
1 tsp minced garlic
4 - 6 servings mashed potatoes
grated cheddar cheese (enough to cover)

Brown ground beef; drain. Return to pan. Add mixed vegetables and garlic. Stir to mix. Add enough water to keep from sticking to pan. Cover and cook on medium heat until vegetables are done to liking. Transfer beef/vegetable mixture to a baking dish. Top with mashed potatoes (cover completely). Top with grated cheddar cheese. Put in oven with low heat until cheese melts.
