Categories     Main Course

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 25

1 lb lean ground beef
1 lb ground sausage ((I use Jimmy Dean pork sausage))
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 small yellow onion (, chopped)
2 ribs celery (, chopped)
1-2 carrots (, chopped (about 1 cup))
3 cloves garlic (, minced)
1/4 cup white flour
2 1/2 cups beef broth
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 cube beef bouillon
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon fresh thyme (, chopped (or ¼ teaspoon dried thyme))
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary (, chopped (or ¼ teaspoon dried rosemary))
2 bay leaves
½ cup frozen corn
½ cup frozen peas
2 1/2 pounds potatoes (, Yukon gold or russet potatoes)
¼ cup sour cream
½ cup milk
4 tablespoons butter
Salt and pepper (, to taste)
½ cup freshly shredded parmesan cheese
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (, for topping)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Make mashed potatoes: Add potatoes to a saucepan with 3 inches of water. Cover and bring to a boil. Cook until fork tender, about 12-15 minutes.
  • Drain the water and leave the potatoes in the pot. Cover with the lid and allow to steam for a few minutes.
  • Mash the potatoes lightly with a potato masher (avoid over-mixing the potatoes). Add butter, sour cream, milk, parmesan cheese and salt and pepper and stir just until smooth. Set aside.
  • Make the meat filling: In a large, oven-safe* 12 inch skillet with sides, add the ground beef and ground sausage (or ground lamb, to make shepherd's pie). Season with salt and pepper.
  • Cook over medium heat until browned, breaking the meat into small pieces with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Drain some of the grease (reserving some in the pan) and remove meat to a plate.
  • Add the onion, celery and carrots to the pan and saute for about 5-8 minutes, until tender. Add garlic and flour and toss to combine. Cook for 1 minute.
  • Add the beef broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, herbs and bay leaves and stir to combine.
  • Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Taste and add extra seasonings, if needed. Remove bay leaves and stir in frozen peas, corn and cooked meat.
  • Assemble the pie: Spoon the mashed potatoes over the meat mixture to completely cover the top. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
  • Bake for about 30 minutes, until golden and bubbling. Allow to cool for 15 minutes before serving, to allow the gravy sauce in the meat mixture to cool and thicken.
