Mamaws Upside Down Shepards Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400ºF.
• Microwave potatoes and water in 2-qt. microwaveable ovenproof casserole on HIGH 10 to 12 min. or until potatoes are tender. Let stand 5 min. Meanwhile, heat dressing in large nonstick skillet on medium-high heat. Add meat and onions; stir. Cook 10 min. until meat is browned, stirring occasionally. Stir in corn and tomatoes.
• Drain potatoes; return to casserole. Flatten potatoes with bottom of small cup or bowl; top with meat mixture and cheese. Cover.
• Bake 25 min. or until ingredients are heated through and top is golden brown, uncovering for the last 5 min.

Steps:

• For the potatoes: Peel and cube the potatoes into a 1-inch dice. Put in a large pot and add enough cold water to cover the potatoes by 1 inch. Season the water with salt and bring to a boil. Boil the potatoes until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain the potatoes and pass through a ricer. Add the milk, sour cream, melted butter and egg yolks to the potatoes and stir with a wooden spoon until smooth. Season with salt and pepper and reserve.
• For the filling: Preheat the oven to 375˚ F. In a medium sauté pan over medium heat, melt the butter with the olive oil. Add the pearl onions and cook, shaking the pan occasionally so the onions brown on all sides, until caramelized, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
• In a large shallow ovenproof braising pan, heat the canola oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced onions and rosemary and cook, stirring often, until the onions are slightly browned and soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the lamb and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until the lamb is cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes. Add the tomato paste, flour and sherry vinegar and cook for 2 more minutes. Add the chicken stock, peas and carrots and pearl onions and bring to a boil. Spoon off any excess fat. Season with salt and pepper and stir in the parsley.
• Top the lamb mixture with an even layer of the potatoes. For the topping: Drizzle the potatoes with the melted butter and sprinkle with the Parmesan. Transfer to the oven and bake until the potatoes are lightly browned, about 40 minutes. Garnish with additional parsley.

Steps:

• In saucepan, cook potatoes for 15 minutes or until tender.
• Drain, mash with milk, butter and half the salt.
• Spread in 8 cup casserole dish.
• In nonstick skillet cook beef, onion and garlic stirring often for 5 minutes.
• Spoon off any fat.
• Sprinkle with flour and cook stirring for 2 minutes.
• Stir in com, stock, ketchup, Worcestershire, pepper and remaining salt.
• Cook for 10 minutes over medium heat.
• Spoon over potatoes.
• Sprinkle with cheese and broil until melted.
• Sprinkle with green pepper.

Steps:

• Bake your pie shells according to package directions and let them cool completely.
• While your pie shells are baking, melt the butter in a skillet over medium and add the pecans and coconut. Toast your coconut and pecans in the butter until they become golden brown (roughly 10 minutes). Keep stirring constantly -- these can scorch easily. Set them aside to let them cool.
• In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk together until creamy. Fold in your whipped topping by hand -- be careful not to "break it down" too much, but still get it incorporated nicely (it's such a fine line, isn't it?).
• Have your baked and cooled pie shells ready to fill -- it's time to start layering!
• Start by using 1/2 of your cream cheese mixture and divide that evenly between the two pie shells (so, technically, each pie will get 1/4 of the mixture).
• Drizzle 1/4 of your caramel sauce over the cream cheese mixture on each pie, use 1/4 per pie and 1/2 the jar total for this layer.
• Sprinkle 1/4 of the pecan/coconut mixture over the caramel on each pie. Again, use 1/2 of the mixture total.
• Repeat the layers, using the remaining ingredients. Place pies in the freezer overnight.
• You'll pull them out about about 20-30 minutes before serving to let them thaw a bit. You can store them in your freezer for about a month. I double wrap mine in Press-N-Seal and then add an additional layer of foil on top of that, to prevent any freezer burn.

Steps:

• In a large sauté pan over medium heat, sauté your ground sirloin, pepper, onion and carrots. Once meat is cooked through (about 10 minutes) and onions are translucent, add the flour and mix and cook for additional 2 minutes. Then add the garlic, corn, beef broth, catsup, and worstershire sauce. Cover and cook at a low simmer for about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make your cornbread mix. In large bowl combine the cornmeal and flour together with the egg and buttermilk. Stir in the melted butter and salt, and mix well.
• Oil a large cast iron skillet (or 9x13 baking dish) and spread your mashed potatoes in it entirely covering bottom. Spread the meat mixture once thickened over the potatoes. Sprinkle the pepper jack cheese over the meat mixture, and then cover with your cornbread mixture.
• Bake at 375°F for about 30-45 minutes until cornbread is cooked through and lightly browned. (a toothpick into the center of the cornbread that comes out clean shows its done).
• Let sit for about 15 minutes before dishing out.
