Provided by Liz Mervosh

Categories     Healthy Casserole Recipes

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped (6 cups)
½ cup reduced-fat sour cream
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
½ teaspoon salt, divided
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 cup unsalted beef broth
1 pound lean ground beef
2 medium carrots, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced into half-moons
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
3 medium cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 tablespoons no-salt-added tomato paste
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh mixed tender and woody herbs (such as rosemary, sage and thyme)
1 ½ cups frozen peas
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
¾ teaspoon ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Place sweet potatoes in a large saucepan; add water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium; simmer, undisturbed, until fork-tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain the sweet potatoes and return to the pan.
  • Cook the sweet potatoes over low heat, stirring constantly, until all water has evaporated, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and mash with a potato masher until mostly smooth. Stir in sour cream, butter and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
  • Whisk cornstarch and broth in a small bowl; set aside.
  • Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, undisturbed, until browned on the bottom, about 4 minutes.

Add carrots, onion and garlic; cook, stirring often, until the carrots and onion soften slightly, about 6 minutes. Add tomato paste and herbs; cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Game Meats     Venison

Time 2h50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 26

1 large sweet potato
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons milk, or more as needed
½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
¼ teaspoon dried sage
1 pinch freshly ground nutmeg
½ cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 (8 ounce) package cremini mushrooms, sliced
1 large onion, chopped
2 carrots, peeled and chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
salt to taste
1 pound ground venison
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
½ teaspoon dried sage
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
⅔ cup dry white wine
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup frozen peas

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Pierce the sweet potato several times with a fork and wrap in aluminum foil. Place on a baking sheet.
  • Roast in the preheated oven until sweet potato is fork-tender, 70 to 90 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool enough to handle, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate and place on a rimmed baking sheet to prevent bubbling over.
  • Peel skin off the sweet potato and place flesh into a large bowl. Add butter, milk, salt, pepper, sage, and nutmeg. Beat using an electric mixer until ingredients are combined. Mix in Cheddar cheese gently. Set aside.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Sprinkle with salt. Cook until vegetables have softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add venison, thyme, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, pepper, and sage. Stir to combine, breaking up any large pieces of venison. Cook until venison is no longer pink, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Stir flour into the pot and cook for 1 minute. Pour in white wine and stir to loosen any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook until wine has reduced slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in broth. Allow mixture to come to a simmer; continue to cook until filling has thickened, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in peas. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as necessary. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  • Pour filling into the prepared pie plate. Top with sweet potato mixture and spread gently across the top, covering most of the filling.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until top is set and filling is bubbling, about 30 minutes. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
