Tips:

  • Choose sweet potatoes that are firm and free of blemishes. Look for potatoes that are about the same size so that they cook evenly.
  • Prick the sweet potatoes with a fork before baking. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from bursting.
  • Bake the sweet potatoes until they are tender when pierced with a fork. The cooking time will vary depending on the size of the potatoes, but it will typically take about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • While the sweet potatoes are baking, cook the ground beef and vegetables. Season the beef with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices.
  • Once the sweet potatoes and beef mixture are cooked, mash the potatoes until smooth. Then, spread the mashed potatoes over the beef mixture in a baking dish.
  • Top the mashed potatoes with shredded cheese and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly. This will typically take about 15 minutes.
  • Serve the shepherd's pie hot with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed cauliflower, or a green salad.

Conclusion:

This autumn sweet potato shepherd's pie is a delicious and comforting meal that is perfect for a cold fall day.
