Shepherd's Pie Baked Potato image

Take twice-baked potatoes and add a wintertime fave - shepherd's pie - and you come up with this tasty meal! It's my revamp of a recipe that was in our newspaper a couple of years ago and we love it. Make it your own by varying the ingredients to fit your taste. I did and my family loves it! The next time I make these tasty taters, I'm going to toss a few cooked peas on top of the meat mixture (under the potatoes) and make it a true shepherd's pie supper!

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 23

6 large baking potatoes
1 tablespoon chile-infused olive oil, or to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ pound sliced mushrooms
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, crushed, or to taste
½ pound ground beef
½ pound bulk pork sausage
1 tablespoon dried summer savory
1 teaspoon steak seasoning, or to taste
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups beef stock
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons spicy mustard
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 cup shredded smoked Gouda cheese, divided
1 bunch green onions, diced
½ cup sour cream
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Prick potatoes several times with a fork. Place onto the prepared baking sheet; drizzle with olive oil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, 60 to 75 minutes.
  • While the potatoes are baking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, bell pepper, and onion; saute until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more. Add ground beef and sausage; cook, breaking up into small pieces, until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in summer savory and steak seasoning.
  • Push meat mixture to the sides of the skillet; melt butter in the center. Add flour to the melted butter; whisk to combine and cook for 1 minute. Whisk in beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and mustard. Season with salt and pepper; simmer until thickened, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Remove potatoes from the oven. Allow to cool slightly, about 10 minutes. Slice each potato in half lengthwise. Scoop the flesh into a large bowl, saving the potato shells. Add 3/4 cup Gouda cheese, green onions, sour cream, paprika, salt, and pepper to the potato flesh; mash well to combine. Allow to sit for 5 minutes so flavors can meld.
  • Place the potato shells on the aluminum-foil lined baking sheet. Fill the shells with the meat mixture, then top with the potato mixture. Sprinkle with remaining Gouda.
  • Bake until cheese is melted and potato mixture is golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.

This recipe was a disaster! The mashed potatoes were gluey and the beef filling was tough. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't turn out right. I would not recommend this recipe.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The mashed potatoes were a little bland and the beef filling was a bit dry. I think I would have liked it better if I had used a different recipe for the mashed potatoes.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. I had some leftover mashed potatoes from Thanksgiving and I used them to make this shepherd's pie. It was a great way to use up the leftovers and it tasted delicious.

Easy and delicious! I'm not a great cook, but I was able to follow this recipe easily and the shepherd's pie turned out great. My husband and kids loved it. I will definitely be making this again.

5 stars! I made this for dinner last night and it was a hit with my family. The mashed potatoes were fluffy and creamy, and the beef filling was flavorful and well-seasoned. The whole dish was topped with a golden brown crust that was perfectly crisp
