Shepherds Pie Recipe

Introduction

  • By: mtsgsd

From an Internet show (now gone) called Food Mob. This stuff is really, really good!
I use garlic mashed potatoes instead of the original plain, and added mushrooms and peas to the meat.
I'd suggest starting the potatoes while you're cooking the meat.

Ingredients

  • 2 Lb ground 93% lean (Ordinarily wouldn't use super lean, but do it here so you don't have to drain it.)
  • 2 Onions
  • 8oz. Sliced Baby Portabellas, coarsely chopped.
  • 4 Cloves Garlic
  • approx. 3 lb. Potatoes (I just cook up a 5lb. bag of Yukon gold, and store whatever mashed potatoes are left over)
  • 1 Tin Chopped tomatoes
  • 2 Carrots
  • 1 Cup Peas
  • 2 Cups grated cheddar cheese
  • 1 Sprig Thyme
  • 2 Tsp Tomato puree
  • 1 stick softened butter
  • Half and Half
  • Garlic Powder & Garlic Salt
  • 6 tsp Gravy mix

Method

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • Sweat the Mushrooms, over a medium heat until most of the water is gone, then add the onions, garlic and carrots. Cook till veggies begin to soften.
  • Add the hamburger to the onions and brown off.
  • Add the chopped tomatoes, gravy mix, Thyme, and the puree to the meat and cook out until the right consistency (about 20 minutes) then stir in the Peas.
  • Add the the meat mixture to an oven proof casserole dish. (I use a dutch oven, with double the meat, and more potatoes so there's plenty of left overs!)
  • Boil the potatoes in water with a pinch of salt until soft.
  • Once the potatoes are soft drain and mash with the butter and half&half. Add liquid in batches after the butter to see what you need. Add Garlic Salt and Garlic Powder to taste.
  • Add the potatoes and grated cheese and bake in the oven for 20 minutes until golden brown.
