Upside Down Shepherd's Pie |
To boost the colour appeal add any vegetables you desire to the mix. The photo does not do the flavour justice! I love having the mashed potatoes on the bottom that way they stay moist and delicious....hence..."Upside Down Shepherd's Pie"!! Just toss together a salad and you have it made!
We are having a potluck at work today as a Christmas celebration and gift exchange. Am I bringing Shepherd's Pie...well no... but I have spanakopita ready to go in the oven.
**Upside Down Shepherds Pie**
2 lb Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut in chunks
2 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon salt
1 lb lean ground beef
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon flour
½ cup corn kernels
½ cup beef stock
¼ cup tomato sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
¼ teaspoon pepper
1/3 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
¼ cup diced sweet green pepper
In saucepan of boiling salted water, cover and cook potatoes for 15 minutes or until tender. Drain, mash with milk, butter and half of the salt. Spread in 8 cup casserole dish.
Meanwhile, in skillet, cook beef, onion, and garlic over medium-high heat, stirring often, for 5 minutes. Spoon off any fat. Sprinkle with flour; cook, stirring, for 2 minutes.
