Savory Shepherds Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain, cool and mash.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 2 quart casserole dish.
• In a large heavy skillet, saute meat until browned on all sides, stirring occasionally. Drain excess fat and return meat to pan over medium heat. Pour in water and season with beef and chicken bouillon, rosemary, salt, pepper, steak seasoning and onion flakes. Stir in frozen vegetables. Cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the water has evaporated.
• Pour meat mixture into a 2 quart casserole dish. Cover top with mashed potatoes. Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes, or until top begins to brown.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash. Mix in butter, finely chopped onion and 1/4 cup shredded cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste; set aside.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add carrots and cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain, mash and set aside. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C.)
• Heat oil in a large frying pan. Add onion and cook until clear. Add ground beef and cook until well browned. Pour off excess fat, then stir in flour and cook 1 minute. Add ketchup and beef broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
• Spread the ground beef in an even layer on the bottom of a 2 quart casserole dish. Next, spread a layer of mashed carrots. Top with the mashed potato mixture and sprinkle with remaining shredded cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until golden brown.

Steps:

• 1. In a large sauce pan, brown ground meat and onions together, drain off excess fat.
• 2. Combine all other ingredients for the filling with the cooked meat, mix and simmer for 30 mins.
• 3. Boil potatoes for 10 mins until tender.
• 4. Add milk, butter and vegetable seasoning to potatoes and mash to a smooth consistency.
• 5. Place the filling into a 2-2.5 QT/L oven ready Pyrex container or equivalent, then spread the mashed potatoes on top of the filling trying not to mix them too much. You want a layer of potatoes as the 'pastry' of your pie.
• 6. Drag a fork across the surface of the mashed potatoes creating an uneven series of 'grooves' on the top of the pie.
• 7. Drizzle lightly across your grooves with vegetable oil, then broil on High until the surface of your pie becomes golden brown and crispy - about 10 mins.
• 8. Serve and Enjoy!!
