Shepherd’s Pie – Cook At Home Day

in Cook At Home Day

This is a great casserole that my kids just love. Even though it makes a large amount, seems like it does not last very long in our household. It is a pretty quick fix too.

Ingredients:
2 lbs ground beef (or ground turkey)
1/2 cup diced white onion
1 cup of canned mushrooms
3 cups mashed potatoes
4 cups mixed vegetables (can use canned or fresh)
6 slices of American Cheese

Directions:
In a large skillet brown the ground beef and the onion until thoroughly cooked. Drain off any fat and place the mixture in the bottom of a large casserole dish. Spread the mixed vegetables evenly over the top of the ground beef. Layer the mushrooms on top of that. Top all this with the cheese slices and then spread the mashed potatoes on top to cover all the cheese slices. Bake in a 350 degree over for about 40 minutes. Let the casserole rest for another 10 minutes before serving.

Killer recipe.

On a side note, since my family has switched to a vegetarian lifestyle, I have found that most recipes with meat can be transformed to meatless, and still taste great.

Sub a combination of carrots, red peppers, extra mushrooms and zuchinni for a great alternative

I am cracking up a bit here because while looking for a Pocupine Meat Ball recipe, I stumbled into an all out cat fight going on in the UK over the proper way to make Shepard’s Pie (it was going on at http://www.cooks.com). But, I did learn that when this dish is made with beef it is referred to as “Cottage Pie”, something I didn’t know before, and that the only difference between the English version and the Irish version is one has cheese, the other does not. I usually put the cheese on top of the taters, but I think I will try it your way the next time I make it :)
