A reader asked that I share my recipe (which is actually my mother-in-law’s recipe) for shepherd’s pie, one of my husband’s favorite meals. It’s quick, easy, and oh so delicious!Here are the steps with pictures, and I have also pasted the full recipe at the bottom of the post. Enjoy!
Shepherd's Pie
Ingredients
- 2 large potatoes
- butter and milk to mash potatoes
- 1 lb ground beef
- seasoned salt
- 1 small onion
- 1½ cup frozen green beans
- 1 cup frozen corn
- shredded cheddar cheese.
Instructions
-
Steam or boil two large, peeled potatoes until tender. (When I'm crunched for time, I steam them in the microwave.) Remove from pot, and mash with butter and milk.
-
Meanwhile, brown 1 pound ground beef (seasoned with seasoned salt, to taste) and sauté small onion (chopped) in a large skillet.
-
Place 1-1/2 cups frozen green beans and 1 cup frozen corn in the bottom of an 8x8 pan.
-
Add browned beef and sautéed onions.
-
Add mashed potatoes, pressing firmly with spatula to ensure that ingredients don't fall off the side of the pan. Sprinkle with shredded cheese.
-
Bake at 400F for approximately 20 minutes (until cheese is melted and pie is hot throughout).
