Time 1h15m

Yield 6-7 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
1/2 cup chopped sweet red pepper (or you can use roasted red bell pepper in a jar)
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 lb zucchini, shredded
1 lb lean ground beef
6 ounces shredded sharp cheddar cheese
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons basil
1/2 teaspoon pepper
4 cups water
1 cup low-fat milk
4 cups instant potato flakes
2 eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Heat oil in large fry pan over medium heat. Saute onion, red pepper, and garlic 3 minutes. Add zucchini and beef, breaking up beef with spoon. Cook stirring often, until meat loses red color (4 minutes). Stir in half the cheddar cheese, 1 t. salt, basil, and pepper. Reserve.
  • Preheat oven to 450. Lightly grease 9 x 13 casserole. Bring water, milk, and 1 t. salt to boil. Stir in potato flakes; then beat in egg and rest of cheese. Remove from heat.
  • Spread half of potato mixture in bottom of casserole. Spoon meat mixture over potatoes; spoon rest of potatoes on top. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
  • Bake at 450 for 15 minutes. Broil for 3-5 to brown top; then let sit 5 minutes before cutting. (If made ahead, heat for 30 minutes at 350 or until center is warm. Then heat at 450 for 15 minutes to brown the top.).

I'm not a big fan of zucchini, but I really enjoyed this shepherd's pie. The zucchini was cooked perfectly and didn't overpower the other flavors.

I was disappointed with this shepherd's pie. The zucchini was bland and watery, and it made the dish taste mushy.

This shepherd's pie was good, but I think I would have preferred it without the zucchini. It was a little too sweet for my taste.
