My Mom's Hamburger Pie or Shepherd's Pie Recipe

I don't know what made me remember this recipe of my Mom's, but something jogged my memory.  I haven't had this in years.  So I got out her cookbook and found her recipe.  She called the recipe Hamburger pie, but I think this is really a variation of Shepherd's Pie. 

I believe true Shepherd's Pie uses lamb.  And, if you do a search on Shepherd's Pie, you will see a wide variety of variations of the recipe.

This is the recipe I grew up on and it brings back a lot of good memories.  It is pretty easy to make and you probably have most of the ingredients, so no wild dash to the store!
