Skillet Shepherd's Pie image

This is a quick and easy version of a classic, and the guys in my family raved about it. I'm posting here for safe keeping. It's based on a recipe from America's Test Kitchen.

Categories     Potato

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 cups frozen hash brown potatoes (not the cubed type)
4 tablespoons butter, melted (divided)
salt
pepper
1 1/2 lbs ground beef (or ground lamb)
1 onion, chopped fine
1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme
1/4 cup flour
2 cups beef broth
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 cups frozen peas and carrots

Steps:

  • Move oven rack to the upper-middle position and heat the broiler.
  • Place the frozen hash browns in a large microwavable bowl and separate the shreds. (I pound them lightly with the back of a wooden spoon and they fall apart.) Toss them with 2 tbsp of the melted butter, 1 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper. Microwave the potatoes, covered, until tender - 7 - 10 minutes on high.
  • Cook ground meat and onion in a large oven safe skillet until it is cooked, about 5 minutes. Drain fat off.
  • Stir thyme and flour into beef/onion mixture and cook about 1 minute. Add broth and Worcestershire sauce and cook about 6 - 8 minutes until thickened.
  • Add peas and carrots to beef mixture and simmer until heated, about a minute, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Scatter the cooked hash browns over the top of the beef mixture and brush with the rest of the butter.
  • Place the skillet unter the broiler and broil 3 - 5 minutes or until the potatoes have golden brown tips.
  • Remove from oven and serve.

This recipe is a fail. The instructions were unclear and the dish turned out terrible. I would not recommend it.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my shepherd's pie turned out dry. I think I might have overcooked the beef.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste, but I think that's because I didn't use enough salt and pepper. Next time I'll be sure to season it more generously.

So easy and delicious! I used ground turkey instead of beef, and it turned out great. The mashed potatoes were creamy and flavorful, and the gravy was rich and thick. Perfect comfort food for a cold night.

This skillet shepherd's pie was a hit with my family! The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the crust was golden brown and crispy. I especially loved the addition of the peas and carrots, which added a nice pop of color and sweetness. Will definit
