The Italian Irishman's Pie image

This is a recipe my Irish aunt gave me. Her husband is Italian, and she developed this recipe to blend things they both like. It is a variation of Shepherd's Pie. For richer flavor, substitute beef broth for water in gravy.

Time 1h10m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound bulk Italian sausage
2 tablespoons sausage drippings
2 tablespoons margarine
2 apples, cored and sliced
1 large onion, sliced
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 cup water
3 cups prepared mashed potatoes
1 tablespoon melted margarine

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Grease a 2-quart casserole dish.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir Italian sausage until browned and crumbly, about 10 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer sausage to prepared casserole dish. Drain drippings and reserve 2 tablespoons drippings in the skillet.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons margarine in a separate skillet over medium heat; cook and stir apple and onion slices until tender, about 8 minutes. Place apple and onion in casserole dish with sausage.
  • Lightly stir sausage, apple, and onion together; season with salt, black pepper, and oregano.
  • Brown flour in reserved drippings in skillet over medium heat. Whisk water into flour until thick gravy forms, about 3 minutes.
  • Pour gravy over sausage mixture in the casserole dish; spread mashed potatoes over the top with a spoon, creating peaks. Lightly brush mashed potatoes with 1 tablespoon melted margarine.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the potatoes are lightly browned and the sausage mixture is bubbling, about 30 minutes.

I made this pie for a St. Patrick's Day party and it was a huge success! Everyone loved it. The only thing I would change is to add a little more garlic next time.

This pie was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would use less salt next time.

I was a little hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of cabbage, but I'm so glad I did! The cabbage was cooked perfectly and it added a nice crunch to the pie. I will definitely be making this again.
