Baked Meatloaf Shepherd's Pie image

After doing a search, I couldn't find a decent Shepherd's Pie recipe... I did find recipes for meatloaf and mashed potato bake, however. And thus, Baked Meatloaf Shepherd Pie was birthed. This recipe is an adaptation of two highly rated recipes, Meatloaf #54257 and Mashed Potato Bake #41344. It is comfort food and a great dish to bring to someone who needs a meal, as it doubles easily, and freezes well. Enjoy!

2 teaspoons olive oil
2 medium onions, chopped (about 3 cups)
3 medium carrots, diced (about 1 1/2 cups)
1/2 pound white mushrooms, sliced

Mash the vegetables with a potato masher until smooth. Heat the milk, butter, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and a pinch of pepper and stir into the potato mixture.

2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and quartered
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
8 ounces fresh chorizo, casings removed
12 ounces ground beef
1 bunch scallions (white and light green parts only), chopped
2 cups frozen corn (preferably fire-roasted)
1 poblano chile pepper, chopped
2 tablespoons tomato paste

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups shredded pepper jack cheese (about 6 ounces)

Steps:

  • Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add the chorizo and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until slightly browned, about 5 minutes.

Cook, stirring, until the vegetables are slightly softened, about 5 more minutes. Add the tomatoes and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium low; cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.
  • Drain the potatoes and let cool slightly. Return to the pot, add the sour cream and butter and mash well. Stir in the cheese and season with salt and pepper. Dollop the mashed potatoes on top of the meat mixture in the skillet, then spread with the back of a spoon. Transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake until bubbling around the edges and the topping is browned in spots, 25 to 30 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes, then sprinkle with the reserved scallions before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ground beef. The quality of the beef will greatly impact the flavor of the meatloaf, so be sure to select a lean ground beef that is at least 80% lean.
  • Use fresh vegetables. Fresh vegetables will add flavor and texture to the meatloaf. Be sure to chop the vegetables finely so that they will cook evenly.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture. Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough, so be sure to mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Cook the meatloaf in a loaf pan. A loaf pan will help to keep the meatloaf moist and prevent it from falling apart.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing. Letting the meatloaf rest for a few minutes before slicing will help to keep it from falling apart.
