Savory Shepherd's Pie image

A classic comfort food at our house, it seemed fitting to get this recipe captured given it's Irish heritage and St Patrick's Day upcoming! Our Kids love Shepherd's Pie - I usually have to double the recipe to make enough for leftovers! It's very easy to make and works equally well with ground beef or turkey. At our house, we...

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 20

FOR THE FILLING
1 medium onion - diced
1 1/2 lb ground beef, or turkey
1 bottle Heinz homestyle gravy - savory beef flavor
1 can(s) french onion soup
1 pkg Lipton Recipe Secrets - onion mushroom flavor
8 mushrooms - chopped
1/2 c seasoned bread crumbs
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
lb frozen mixed vegetables
1 Tbsp fresh parsley - chopped
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1 bay leaf
FOR THE POTATOES
4 medium potatoes peeled, cut and boiled
1/2 c milk
2 Tbsp butter
1 tsp vegetable seasoning (optional)
Drizzle of vegetable oil

Steps:

  • 1. In a large sauce pan, brown ground meat and onions together, drain off excess fat.
  • 2. Combine all other ingredients for the filling with the cooked meat, mix and simmer for 30 mins.
  • 3. Boil potatoes for 10 mins until tender.
  • 4. Add milk, butter and vegetable seasoning to potatoes and mash to a smooth consistency.
  • 5. Place the filling into a 2-2.5 QT/L oven ready Pyrex container or equivalent, then spread the mashed potatoes on top of the filling trying not to mix them too much. You want a layer of potatoes as the 'pastry' of your pie.
  • 6. Drag a fork across the surface of the mashed potatoes creating an uneven series of 'grooves' on the top of the pie.
  • 7. Drizzle lightly across your grooves with vegetable oil, then broil on High until the surface of your pie becomes golden brown and crispy - about 10 mins.
  • 8. Serve and Enjoy!!

This was the best shepherd's pie I've ever had! The meat was so tender and the vegetables were cooked to perfection. I will definitely be making this recipe again.

The crust on my shepherd's pie didn't turn out as golden brown as I would have liked. I think I might have overcooked it.

This shepherd's pie was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll add more herbs and spices next time.

I love that this recipe uses ground turkey instead of beef. It's a healthier option and it still tastes great.
