Categories     Dinner

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!

SHEPHERD'S PIE



Shepherd's Pie image

When you're in the mood for a meaty, savory comfort-food classic, serve Alton Brown's Shepherd's Pie from Good Eats on Food Network.

Provided by Alton Brown

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 1/2 pounds russet potatoes
1/4 cup half-and-half
2 ounces unsalted butter
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 egg yolk
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 cup chopped onion
2 carrots, peeled and diced small
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 pounds ground lamb
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons tomato paste
1 cup chicken broth
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons freshly chopped rosemary leaves
1 teaspoon freshly chopped thyme leaves
1/2 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels
1/2 cup fresh or frozen English peas

Steps:

  • Peel the potatoes and cut into 1/2-inch dice. Place in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Set over high heat, cover and bring to a boil. Once boiling, uncover, decrease the heat to maintain a simmer and cook until tender and easily crushed with tongs, approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Place the half-and-half and butter into a microwave-safe container and heat in the microwave until warmed through, about 35 seconds. Drain the potatoes in a colander and then return to the saucepan. Mash the potatoes and then add the half and half, butter, salt and pepper and continue to mash until smooth. Stir in the yolk until well combined.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the filling. Place the canola oil into a 12-inch saute pan and set over medium high heat. Once the oil shimmers, add the onion and carrots and saute just until they begin to take on color, approximately 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and stir to combine. Add the lamb, salt and pepper and cook until browned and cooked through, approximately 3 minutes. Sprinkle the meat with the flour and toss to coat, continuing to cook for another minute. Add the tomato paste, chicken broth, Worcestershire, rosemary, thyme, and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer slowly 10 to 12 minutes or until the sauce is thickened slightly.
  • Add the corn and peas to the lamb mixture and spread evenly into an 11 by 7-inch glass baking dish. Top with the mashed potatoes, starting around the edges to create a seal to prevent the mixture from bubbling up and smooth with a rubber spatula. Place on a parchment lined half sheet pan on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 25 minutes or just until the potatoes begin to brown. Remove to a cooling rack for at least 15 minutes before serving.

EASY TASTY SHEPHERD'S PIE



Easy Tasty Shepherd's Pie image

Having these ingredients on hand, I winged this one night and it was delicious! I used simple homemade gravy and mashed potatoes which is reflected in the last 8 items in the ingredient list, but by all means if you have left-overs or premade gravy and mashers, use them instead! The italian cheese (finely shredded mozz, provolone etc) I had on hand and thought it would add a little extra oomph to the potatoes and I was right! These were the yummiest mashers I have ever made and I think they made the dish.

Time 1h

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 lbs ground meat, beef, pork, lamb, turkey, any combo
1 medium onion, chopped
6 garlic cloves, 3 of them minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
6 ounces mushrooms, sliced
1 tablespoon rosemary, minced (optional)
8 ounces frozen mixed vegetables
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 (14 ounce) can beef broth
2 lbs potatoes, diced (yukon golds are awesome)
2 ounces cream cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4-1/2 buttermilk
4 ounces Italian cheese blend
2 -4 ounces shredded cheddar cheese, to taste

Steps:

  • If you are making homemade mashed potatoes, start them boiling or steaming with 3 cloves of garlic while you prepare meat mixture.
  • Saute onions and minced garlic in oil over medium heat, season with a pinch of salt and pepper for about 3 minutes.
  • Add ground meat and saute until almost done then add mushroom, rosemary and worchestershire and continue cooking til meat is done. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Add mixed vegetables and cook until thawed, then drain and add to baking dish. I used a 9x13 corningware casserole dish.
  • In same saute pan, melt butter over medium heat then whisk in flour until combined. (You want a light golden roux.) Then whisk in beef broth and cook continually whisking til gravy thickens, about 5 minutes. Taste and season accordingly, stir into meat mixture.
  • Mash cooked potatoes with cream cheese and sour cream. I used my kitchenaid stand mixer for ease and consistency, but not necessary. Slowly add buttermilk until you reach desired consistency. Salt and pepper to taste. Stir in italian cheese.
  • Spread potatoes over meat mixture, sprinkle shredded cheese on top. Cover with foil and bake at 350 for 25 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ground lamb: The quality of the lamb will make a big difference in the overall flavor of the shepherd's pie. Look for ground lamb that is fresh, finely ground, and has a good fat content (at least 20%).
  • Cook the lamb slowly: Overcooking the lamb will make it tough and dry. Cook it slowly over low heat until it is cooked through but still tender.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of vegetables in your shepherd's pie. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, garlic, peas, and corn.
  • Make a flavorful gravy: The gravy is an important part of shepherd's pie. Make sure to use a good quality beef broth and add plenty of herbs and spices.
  • Use a good quality mashed potato topping: The mashed potato topping is what really makes shepherd's pie special. Use a good quality mashed potato recipe and make sure to spread it evenly over the filling.
  • Bake the shepherd's pie until golden brown: Bake the shepherd's pie until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. This will take about 30 minutes.
  • Let the shepherd's pie rest before serving: Let the shepherd's pie rest for at least 10 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the pie to set.

Conclusion:

Shepherd's pie is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages. With its hearty filling, creamy mashed potato topping, and flavorful gravy, it's the perfect meal for a cold winter night. So next time you're looking for a delicious and satisfying meal, give shepherd's pie a try. You won't be disappointed!
