Easier Shepherd's Pie

10:39 PM Posted by patty , No comments

Shepherd's Pie is pretty easy to make already, but this makes it… well easier!  I know the main factor that always deter me from making shepherd's pie is the mashed potatoes -- we never have enough leftover to make this as a "day after" dish.

ingredients
8 red new potatoes
1 Tb butter, melted
salt and pepper
1 lb extra lean ground turkey (or lean ground beef)
1 1/2 cups diced onion
1/4 cup all purpose flour
2 cups low-sodium beef broth
1Tb Worcestershire sauce
1 cup frozen peas
1 cup frozen carrots

directions

  1. Rinse and dice potatoes into bite-sized chunks and toss with melted butter, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Cover and microwave for 7 minutes or until tender.
  2. Meanwhile, cook the meat and onion in an oven safe skillet over medium-high heat until meat is no longer pink. Drain if necessary and return to skillet. Stir in the flour until incorporated, about 1 minute. Add the broth and Worcestershire and cook until thickened, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in peas and carrots and simmer until heated through, about 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, about 1/2 teaspoon each.
  3. Scatter the cooked potatoes over the meat and broil until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
