Venison Shepherds Pie Recipe 385

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Pierce the sweet potato several times with a fork and wrap in aluminum foil. Place on a baking sheet.
• Roast in the preheated oven until sweet potato is fork-tender, 70 to 90 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool enough to handle, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate and place on a rimmed baking sheet to prevent bubbling over.
• Peel skin off the sweet potato and place flesh into a large bowl. Add butter, milk, salt, pepper, sage, and nutmeg. Beat using an electric mixer until ingredients are combined. Mix in Cheddar cheese gently. Set aside.
• Heat vegetable oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Sprinkle with salt. Cook until vegetables have softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add venison, thyme, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, pepper, and sage. Stir to combine, breaking up any large pieces of venison. Cook until venison is no longer pink, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Stir flour into the pot and cook for 1 minute. Pour in white wine and stir to loosen any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook until wine has reduced slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in broth. Allow mixture to come to a simmer; continue to cook until filling has thickened, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in peas. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as necessary. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
• Pour filling into the prepared pie plate. Top with sweet potato mixture and spread gently across the top, covering most of the filling.
• Bake in the preheated oven until top is set and filling is bubbling, about 30 minutes. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Steps:

• Brown meat and onions, salt and pepper to taste.
• Combine with beans and soup.
• Put in 2 quart casserole sprayed with Pam.
• Cook potatoes, mash with milk and egg.
• (Sometimes I use Bob Evans Mashed Potatoes which comes in several flavors, garlic is good.).
• Spread over meat.
• Top with cheese.
• Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes.

Steps:

• 1. Brown gound venison in large, deep skillet. If using ground beef, drain. 2. While the meat is browning, prepare the onion mushroom gravy according to package directions. 3. When the meat is browned, add the veggies and stir to combine. 4. Add the prepared gravy and stir to combine. 5. Add the garlic powder and cinnamon to taste. The cinnamon should not be overpowering, so add carefully! 6. Divide the meat and veggie mixture among 4 oven safe ramekins. 7. Prepare potatoes according to package instructions. Spread 1/4 of prepared potatoes on top of each portion of meat. 8. Place ramekins on a cookie sheet and bake in a 375 degree oven until meat mixture is bubbling and potatoes just start to brown.
