When I was a little girl my favorite meal was my moms Shepards Pie. I thought
I would give you an updated version of this great comforting meal.
Cheddar Shepard's Pie
For The Meat -
1 1/2 pounds ground beef or turkey
1 onion, diced
2 teaspoon minced garlic
1 can tomato paste
3 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
1 packet brown gravy
1 cup of water
1 1/2 cups corn
1 1/2 cups peas
4 sprigs fresh thyme leaves
salt and pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
For The Potatoes -
5 pounds yukon gold potatoes
1/2 stick of butter
5 ounces cheddar cheese
3 ounces cream cheese
3 tablespoons fresh chives
1) In a large pot of salted water boil potatoes. In the meantime.
2) Brown ground beef, onion, thyme and garlic at the same time. Add salt,
pepper and garlic powder. Put in the paste. Mix the brown gravy with one
cup of warm water and pour into meat mixture, add worcestershire sauce.
Cook for 7 minutes. Turn stove off and add the corn and peas mix and set aside.
3) Drain potatoes and add butter, cream cheese, cheese and chives. Mix.
4) Preheat oven at 350 degrees. Place meat on the bottom of a baking dish
and place the potatoes on top and bake for 20 minutes.

ReplyDeleteI absolutely adore shepherd's pie and I love that you worked cheddar right into the mashed potato layer - so delicious!

ReplyDeleteI grew up with my mom making shepherds pie really differently than everyone else, and I've never really branched out from her way, but this one looks really good...I think I'll try it today, thanks!!
ReplyDeleteI have never actually had this dish, but your version looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteThis was perfect for St. Paddy's day. I substituted 1/2 of the potatoes for cauliflower and added a cup of carrots to the meat mixture too. I almost left out the cheese; I'm glad I didn't. It was delicious and a hit with my family. P.S. Your photography is awesome.
ReplyDeleteJust tried this recipe its in the oven now. So excited to eat!!
ReplyDeleteJust tried this recipe its in the oven now. So excited to eat!!
ReplyDeleteOMG....I just made this and could not even get it on the oven before I found myself "TASTING" it! What a great recipe! Being 100% Irish, I am always looking for good spins on the classics. Thanks so much! This is a keeper.
ReplyDeleteWe have tried various versions of this and they always call for tomato paste. Is there something that I can substitute for that? My family is really not crazy about the flavor of things with the paste in them. Just wondering??
ReplyDeleteYou can just leave the tomato paste out - My moms version does not have tomato paste in it and it's delicious.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm going to give this a try this weekend!!
