1 lb ground turkey

1 cup thinly sliced carrots
2 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground pepper
1/4 cup all-purpose flour

8 baked potatoes

Steps:

  • Bake 6-8 potatoes in the oven for 1 hour at 425°. See post above for my favorite way to bake them. Or just scrub the potatoes and wrap up in tin foil (to keep the skin soft), poke some holes in it and let it bake. You can also make baked potatoes in the instant pot or the slow cooker. See post above for links to great recipes.

Time 1h18m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

4 russet potatoes, scrubbed clean and patted dry
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt, divided, plus more to taste
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
¼ cup heavy cream, warm
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
¼ cup fresh chives, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, diced
3 garlics, minced
1 lb ground beef, or ground lamb
2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided, plus more to taste
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided, plus more to taste
2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon tomato paste
½ cup beef stock
1 can carrot, drained
1 can peas, drained

Steps:

  • Set one rack at the top and one rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Place the potatoes on the baking sheet. Poke a few times on each side with a fork, then brush all over with olive oil and sprinkle with ½ teaspoon of salt.
  • Bake the potatoes on the center rack of the oven for 45-50 minutes, until easily pierced with a knife. Remove from oven and let sit until cool enough to handle. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (180°C).
  • While potatoes are cooking, make the beef filling: Heat the olive oil in a large, high-walled skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and continue to cook until fragrant, 2-3 minutes.
  • Push the onion mixture to the edges of the pan and increase the heat to medium-high. Add the ground beef to the center of the pan and break up with a spatula. Let the meat brown, undisturbed, for 2-3 minutes, then season with 1 teaspoon of salt and ½ teaspoon of pepper and stir to incorporate.
  • When the beef is mostly cooked through but still slightly pink, add the tomato paste and Worcestershire sauce and stir to combine, continuing to break up the beef with the spatula.
  • Add the beef stock, carrots, and peas. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 3-5 minutes, until most of the liquid has evaporated. Season with the remaining teaspoon of salt and ½ teaspoon of pepper, plus more to taste. Remove the pan from the heat.
  • Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut in half lengthwise. Being careful not to tear the skin, scoop out most of the flesh and transfer to a large bowl. Set the potato skins aside.
  • Add the melted butter, heavy cream, remaining teaspoon of salt, and the pepper to the bowl with the potato flesh. With an electric hand mixer, mix on low speed until combined, then increase the speed to high and mix until potatoes are light and fluffy. Add the cheddar cheese and mix on low speed until just incorporated.
  • Scoop about ¼ cup (60 G) of the beef filling into each potato skin. Top with about ¼ cup of the mashed potatoes. Spread the potatoes over the beef filling so it's almost entirely covered. Using a fork, create ridges in the potatoes by dragging the fork from top to bottom.
  • Bake the potatoes on the center rack for 10-15 minutes, until the cheese in the potatoes starts melt and you hear sizzling coming from the potatoes when you open the oven door.
  • Transfer the potatoes to the top rack and broil on high for 1-2 minutes, until the edges are brown and crispy, keeping a close eye to ensure they do not burn.
  • Top the potatoes with the chives and serve warm
  • Enjoy!

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 26

4 cups Beef Stew with Beer and Paprika, recipe follows
Horseradish Mashed Potatoes, recipe follows, to cover the stew
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon salted butter
2 pounds beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 medium onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 heaping tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups beef stock
One 12-ounce can beer
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Minced fresh parsley, optional, for serving
5 pounds russet or Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
2 sticks salted butter, at room temperature
One 8-ounce package cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon horseradish cream
1/2 to 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Put the Beef Stew with Beer and Paprika in a 10-inch skillet or baking dish. Spoon the Horseradish Mashed Potatoes all over the surface of the stew and use a spoon or spatula to spread them out. Bake until the top is golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes.
  • Heat the oil and butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Brown the meat in 2 batches, 2 to 3 minutes per batch; set aside on a plate.
  • Add the onions to the pot. Stir and cook until softened, 2 to 3 minutes, then add the garlic and cook for another minute. Add the flour and stir to coat the onions and garlic. Pour in the beef stock, beer and a splash of water, then add the tomato paste, Worcestershire, sugar, paprika, salt and some pepper. Add the beef back to the pot and stir to combine. Cover and simmer until the beef is cooked and the mixture has thickened, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Top with the parsley if using.
  • Note: The liquid should cook down to a thicker state. If it gets too thick/reduces too much, add water as needed.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a simmer and add the potatoes. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Drain the potatoes in a large colander. Put them back into the dry pot and put the pot on the stove. Mash the potatoes over low heat, allowing all the steam to escape before adding in the other ingredients.
  • Turn off the heat and add the butter, cream cheese, heavy cream, horseradish cream, seasoned salt, kosher salt and pepper. Mash to combine. Add the chopped parsley and mix in.

Shepherd's pie has another name, cottage pie, and mashed potatoes have another alternative - sweet potatoes. Whatever you call it, there's enough in the recipe to bake one casserole and freeze the other for up to three months.
