Sweet Potato Shepherd’s Pie

freezer to crock pot

4.5 Cups sweet potatoes (mashed if adding on cooking day, raw, grated if freezing)
1.5 lbs ground beef
3 cups frozen peas and carrots, or any frozen veggie mix
2 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1.5 tbsp herbs de provence (or spice of choice, salt and pepper)
3/4 cup beef broth (or water) 

**There is a little prep to this one so its not a total dump and cook. 

Brown beef with onions and drain excess fat. For the best results add all ingredients to gallon zip lock bag, except the sweet potatoes. On cooking day, cook and mash sweet potatoes and add to the top of thawed veggie meat mixture. Alternatively, grate sweet potatoes in separate bag and freeze together. On cooking day add meat and veggie mixture to crock pot and top evenly with grated sweet potatoes. Cook on low 5-6 hours
