Ingredients
Mashed Potato Topping:
4 tbsp butter
2 lbs potatoes peeled and cut into big chunks
¼ c. sour cream
salt and pepper to taste
¼ to ½ c. milk
Filling:
1 small onion diced
2 cloves garlic minced
1 lb. ground beef
½ c. beef broth
2 tbsp flour
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp rosemary
1 bay leaf
½ tsp thyme
2 c. frozen peas, carrots, and corn medley
How to make Shepherd’s Pie
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees F.
Step 2: Cook the potatoes in boiling water until fork-tender. When done, drain the water.
Step 3: Add the butter to the potatoes along with the sour cream, milk, salt, and pepper. Using a hand masher or mixer, mash the potatoes until you reached your preferred consistency. Set aside.
Step 4: Cook the ground beef with the onions and garlic in a large skillet. When done, drain the excess grease.
Step 5: Add 2 cups of frozen vegetables in the same skillet and cook for approximately 5 to 7 minutes, stirring often. Then, sprinkle with flour. Mix well, then add the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, rosemary, thyme, and bay leaf.
Step 6: Bring everything to a simmer, then adjust the heat to low. Continue to cook for about 10 minutes, uncovered. You can add extra broth if needed. This will prevent the meat from drying out.
Step 7: Take the pan off the heat, then discard the bay leaf and evenly spread the meat mixture in a greased 9 x 13-inch dish.
Step 8: In an even layer, top the meat with the mashed potatoes. If desired, you can pipe the potatoes onto the meat. Or use a spoon to evenly spread the potatoes, then a fork to create ridges.
Step 9: Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until brown and bubbly. To brown the potatoes more, place them under the broiler for a couple of minutes.
