Pantry Shepherd's Pie image

There seems to be a hundred different ways to make shepherd's pie. This is the way my Mom taught my sister and me to make it. I called it "pantry" because you can throw this together with whatever you have in the pantry or larder. It is quick, easy, impressive, and satisfying. We used biscuits for the top, but many people use...

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb hamburger (or turkey, or chicken, or sausage, or tuna, whatever)
1/2 med onion, chopped
2 c mixed veggies (your choice)
1 can(s) cream of mushroom soup, undiluted

Steps:

  • 1. Saute the onion.
  • 2. Add the ground beef and seasonings then lightly brown (no pink, but not over done)
  • 3. Add the mixed veggies (traditional: peas, carrots, green beans, corn, etc. -- or whatever you like or have on hand from zucchini to broccoli or anything in between) -- can add more seasonings at this point if you like
  • 4. Cook until veggies are done to your liking
  • 5. Stir in a can of cream of mushroom soup (or any creamed soup that you like: cheese, celery, etc.) (If you don't have that you can use sour cream and shredded cheese, or cottage cheese, or whatever you think will work to make a thick gravy-like consistency -- even canned or homemade gravy, or marinara sauce.)
  • 6. Place all in a 9x13 casserole and open the biscuits and place them on top Bake 350 F till the biscuits are golden brown (or follow package instructions).
  • 7. You can also top with any one of the following: A. Bisquick drop biscuits, or make a batter and spread it on top (drop is easier) B. 2 cups of prepared mashed potatoes mixed with cheese (can be instant or homemade) C.

This shepherd's pie was a disaster! The filling was bland and the crust was soggy. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I won't be making this recipe again.

This shepherd's pie was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I might have added too much salt to the filling. Otherwise, it was a good recipe.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my shepherd's pie turned out dry. I think I might have overcooked the filling. Next time, I'll be sure to keep a close eye on it.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more herbs and spices to the filling. Otherwise, it was a good, basic shepherd's pie.
