TEXAS STYLE HASH BROWNS SHEPHERD'S PIE



Texas Style Hash Browns Shepherd's Pie image

Since I have been living in Texas, I have been experimenting with all of my favourite English recipes and making them more texas-ified! Like with many of my good old favourites, my husband has tried my original 'British shepherds pie' and very much prefers this one! This is a great easy and wallet friendly recipe to make, and can be kept in the frige when cool and eaten cold / warmed up in the microwave the next day.

Categories     Lamb/Sheep

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb lean ground lamb or 1 lb lean ground beef
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can condensed vegetable beef soup (I use WalMart's own brand)
1 (14 ounce) can chopped tomatoes
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1 cup of chopped onion (can use frozen)
1 cup frozen peas
Worcestershire sauce
A.1. Original Sauce
1 1/2 cups of finely shredded Mexican blend cheese (or similar)
9 ounces of 'simply potatoes' southwest-style hash browns (or similar)
1 cup milk
1 beaten egg

Steps:

  • Brown meat and onions in a dry frying pan on high heat. Meat will cook in its own juices, so do not add oil. When cooked, drain.
  • Tip back into frying pan and add tomatoes, soup, mushrooms and peas.
  • Add one can full of water and stir.
  • Add Worcestershire Sauce and A1 Steak Sauce to taste. (Use approx 2 tbsp of Worcestershire Sauce as a guideline, and 1 tsp of A1, but you will know when it tastes right!).
  • Cook on a high heat until bubbling, then cover and reduce heat.
  • Simmer for 10 - 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • In the meantime add cheese and milk together in a bowl. Add beaten egg and stir until well mixed. Set aside.
  • When Meat mixture has condensed down and thickened slightly, remove from heat.
  • Spoon mixture into a 9x13-inch oven pan with a slotted spoon, draining off excess 'juice' if necessary.
  • Pan should be 1/2 to 3/4 full.
  • Add packaged hash brown mix on top of the meat mixture, pressing down to compact.
  • Pour egg, milk and cheese mixture (above) on top of the hash browns, and bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes, or until hash browns have browned to a nice crispy golden colour.
  • During the last few minutes of cooking, you can add extra shredded cheese to the top of the pie, and broil for a few minutes to melt.
  • This recipe tastes great when served with HP sauce (which is a spicy English sauce). My husband also enjoys it with ketchup, however neither of these are necessary, and this is simply a serving suggestion! Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for hash browns, as they have a high starch content that helps them crisp up nicely.
  • Shred the potatoes finely: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming too mushy.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the hash browns, make sure to spread them out in a single layer so that they can cook evenly.
  • Cook the hash browns over medium heat: This will help them cook through without burning.
  • Season the hash browns generously: Salt, pepper, and paprika are a good starting point, but you can also add other seasonings to taste.
  • Use a combination of ground beef and pork for the filling: This will give the shepherd's pie a richer flavor.
  • Don't overcook the filling: The filling should be cooked through, but not dry.
  • Top the shepherd's pie with a generous layer of mashed potatoes: This will help to insulate the filling and keep it moist.
  • Bake the shepherd's pie until the mashed potatoes are golden brown: This will give the dish a nice, crispy topping.

Conclusion:

Crispy Hash Brown Shepherd's Pie is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The crispy hash brown crust, flavorful filling, and creamy mashed potato topping make this dish a surefire hit with the whole family. So next time you're looking for a comforting meal that's easy to make, give this recipe a try.
