I watched a video on the Food Network by Paula Deen for this recipe. But when I searched the recipes for this it was different than what she did in the video. So here is my guess at the amounts she used in the video.

PAULA DEEN'S SHEPHERD'S PIE

I got this recipe off of The Food Network after watching Paula prepare it on her show. It is delicious! Although the original recipe didn't call for cheese, I sometimes add some between the meat and Bisquick layers. Rich and decadent! Recipe courtesy of http://www.pauladeen.com

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 small onion
1 and 1/2 lb ground beef
2 8 oz cans tomato sauce
1 and 1/2 c mixed vegetables of your choice
salt and pepper to taste
8 - 10 medium medium red new potatoes
1 and 1/2 c milk
12 Tbsp butter
1/2 c sour cream
2 c biscuit mix (bisquick)

Steps:

  • 1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • 2. Beef Layer: Chop and saute onion in 2 tablespoons butter. Add ground beef. After beef is browned, add tomato sauce; mix in vegetables (except potatoes). Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • 3. Potato Layer: Peel and slice potatoes about 1/4 inch thick. Cook in boiling water for about 15 minutes, or until potatoes are fork tender. Whip potatoes with electric mixer until moderately smooth - a few lumps are okay. Heat to warm 1/2 cup of the milk and add to potatoes, along with 1/2 cup butter and the sour cream. Add salt and pepper to taste. Whip til mixed, adding a little more milk, if needed, for the desired consistency.
  • 4. Biscuit Layer: Mix Bisquick and one cup milk. The mixture should be thinner than regular buscuit mix, but not runny.
  • 5. Spray a 9 by 9 by 2-inch (or similar) baking pan with cooking spray. Layer half-way up with the mashed potatoes. Next, spread the mixed vegetables over the potatoes, then the meat. Pour Bisquick over the meat. Melt 4 tablespoons butter and drizzle over top.
  • 6. Bake for 35 - 45 minutes until top is golden brown.
  • 7. If you have leftover pork or beef roast with gravy and vegetables from Sunday dinner, they can be used to make this a quick nd easy mid-week dinner!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ground beef. The better the beef, the better the shepherd's pie. Look for ground beef that is at least 80% lean.
  • Don't overcook the beef. Overcooked beef will be tough and dry. Cook it just until it is browned and no longer pink in the center.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your shepherd's pie more flavor and texture. Try using a combination of carrots, celery, onions, peas, and corn.
  • Make sure the sauce is thick enough. The sauce should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. If it is too thin, it will not hold together well in the pie.
  • Use a good quality mashed potato topping. The mashed potatoes should be creamy and smooth. You can use instant mashed potatoes, but homemade mashed potatoes are always best.
  • Top the pie with cheese. Cheese is optional, but it adds a delicious flavor and golden brown crust to the pie.
  • Let the pie rest before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the pie to set.

Conclusion:

Shepherd's pie is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover beef and vegetables, and it can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it classic or with a few modern twists, shepherd's pie is sure to be a hit at your next meal.
