How to make 30 Minute Shepherd’s Pie
Step 1: Boil the sliced potatoes until fork tender. In the meantime, chop the carrots (if using) and onions into bite-sized pieces. Place them in another skillet along with the ground meat and cook until the meat is almost browned.
Step 2: Into quarters, cut the mushrooms and add them to the beef mixture. Then, add the gravy packet, and 1 c. milk. Cook until the mixture has thickened. Pour in the red wine (or beef broth) and cook further. To taste, season with salt and pepper.
Step 3: Drain the potatoes when done and set them aside.
Step 4: In a skillet, add the melted butter, garlic, and milk. Bring to a boil, then add the potatoes. Mash and stir and season with salt and pepper.
Step 5: Into a greased oven-proof dish, transfer the beef mixture. On top, place the corn followed by the potatoes.
Step 6: On top, generously sprinkle the Parmesan cheese. Broil the pie until the cheese is golden brown.
