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!

MEATLOAF SHEPHERD'S PIE



Meatloaf Shepherd's Pie image

This is my favorite Shepherds Pie recipe. Using leftover meatloaf gives it a great flavor. We like it so much I've made meatloaf just to fix this. :) The prep time is with using leftover meatloaf and instant potatoes.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 1h

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 slices cooked meatloaf (fresh or leftover)
1 (12 ounce) jar beef gravy
1 (15 1/4 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained (optional)
4 cups warm mashed potatoes
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup sliced green onion (optional)

Steps:

  • Place meatloaf slices in a greased 2 1/2 quart baking dish.
  • Cover with gravy; top with corn.
  • Combine potatoes, 1/2 cup cheese, sour cream, and onions.
  • Spread over corn.
  • Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 25 to 30 minutes or until heated through.
  • Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
  • Bake 2 minutes longer or until the cheese is melted.

Tips:

1. Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish. 2. Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture: Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough. 3. Use a loaf pan that is the right size for the amount of meatloaf mixture you have: A too-small pan will cause the meatloaf to overflow, while a too-large pan will make the meatloaf too thin. 4. Bake the meatloaf at a moderate temperature: This will help to ensure that the meatloaf cooks evenly throughout. 5. Let the meatloaf rest for a few minutes before slicing: This will help to keep the meatloaf from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Meatloaf and shepherd's pie are both hearty and delicious comfort food dishes that are perfect for a weeknight meal. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your meatloaf and shepherd's pie turn out perfectly every time. So next time you're looking for a satisfying and easy-to-make meal, give one of these recipes a try.
