Shepherd’s Pie

My husband and I love this variation of the traditional Shepherd’s Pie made with lamb. I like lamb, he doesn’t, so I use ground beef instead.

What you’ll need

  • 1 1/2 lbs ground chuck or lean hamburger
  • 1 medium-size sweet onion, chopped
  • 1-2 C frozen peas and carrots
  • 3-4 medium Idaho potatoes (or russets), peeled and quartered
  • 1 stick butter, divided
  • 1/2 C beef broth or stock
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and Pepper, to taste

Crunchy Roasted Potatoes

  • 4 medium russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about two pounds)
  • 2 T olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 t coarse salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 2/3 cup panko (Japanese bread crumbs)
  • 8 oz pepper jack cheese, shredded (about two cups) (optional)

In large bowl, combine potatoes, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper; toss to coat. Add panko; toss until combined. Spread potato mixture in single layer on foil-lined 11 x 17 inch jellyroll pan that has been lightly coated with no-stick cooking spray. Roast in 425 oven until potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking time. If desired, sprinkle cheewe over potatoes. BAke until cheese melts, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately.

Makes 6-8 servings.
