Grammys Two Step Shepherds Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Make the potatoes: Put the potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with cold salted water. Bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are tender, 12 to 14 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of the cooking water, then drain and place the potatoes in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment.
• Combine the sour cream and egg, then add to the potatoes; season with a pinch of salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Whip, adding 1/4 cup of the reserved cooking water at a time, until smooth and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Fold in all but 1 tablespoon of the scallions and set aside.
• Make the filling: Melt the butter in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the carrots, celery, onion and beef substitute and saute until tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the top and saute to cook off the flour flavor, about 1 minute. Whisk in the beer and stock until combined. Stir in the corn, edamame, steak sauce, garlic powder and red pepper flakes until combined. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook to reduce the liquid by one-third, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and season with salt and pepper.
• Fill six 4-inch cast-iron skillets (or ramekins) halfway with the filling. Divide the mashed potatoes among the pans. Place the skillets on a baking sheet and bake until the mashed potatoes start to brown and the sauce is bubbly, 20 to 25 minutes. Top with the remaining scallions.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a skillet set over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, thyme, rosemary, and half of the salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, for 5 to 7 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350 F (180 C).
• Crumble meat into pan and cook until brown all over. Sprinkle with flour. Stir in ketchup, tomato juice, Worcestershire sauce and mustard. Simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in mixed vegetables. Transfer to a 9-inch (23-cm) baking dish.
• Whip the potatoes with the warm milk, remaining salt and pepper, butter and garlic until very fluffy. Spread potatoes evenly over meat mixture. Bake for 35 minutes or until potatoes are golden.

Steps:

• In a large pot, bring a gallon of water and 2 tablespoons salt to a boil over high heat. Add potatoes to boiling water and boil for about 15 to 20 minutes, until soft; a knife should go in with almost no resistance.
• In a small saucepan or a microwave oven, heat 6 tablespoons of the butter and milk together until butter melts. Drain potatoes well and return to pot. Using a masher or a ricer, mash hot potatoes until smooth. Mix in the hot butter mixture, just until blended. Stir in the Cheddar. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and set aside.
• Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large oven-safe skillet with high sides or an enameled cast-iron braiser (at least 2 1/2-quart capacity) over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot, garlic, thyme and rosemary and cook, stirring often with a wooden spoon, until the onions are translucent and the carrots are just tender, about 10 minutes. Add the beef and the lamb and cook, breaking the meat up with a spoon, until it is no longer pink. (At this point, you can drain off some of the excess fat if you like.) Season the mixture to taste with salt and pepper.
• Add the tomato paste and stir, cooking until it is well combined, another 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and cook for 1 minute. Add the beef stock and cook, stirring, until the liquid has thickened slightly. Stir in the parsley and remove the thyme and rosemary stems. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Top the meat mixture with dollops of the mashed potatoes then spread them out over the top. (Or transfer the meat mixture to a 3-quart casserole dish and spread into an even layer, and top with potatoes.) Transfer to the oven and, if the mixture is at the top edges of your pan, set a foil-lined baking sheet underneath the pan to catch any drips. Bake the pie until the potatoes have begun to brown and the edges are bubbling, about 30 minutes. Let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving.
