I am itching to try new recipes lately, so when I saw Shepherd Pie on another website, I thought I’d give it a whirl. Most of the ingredients are items I have on hand and it didn’t look hard to make.
So, I started by gathering the ingredients:
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
- 1/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
- salt and pepper to taste
- 8-10 oz frozen peas and carrots
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1.5 pound lean ground beef
- 1/4 cup of worstershire
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 brown gravy mix
- 1 cup water
- 1/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
Directions
We always like to add extra butter. Yes, we like a little potatoes with our butter…
I cheated and used the microwave in bag frozen veggies. And I didn’t mash them up either. That just sounded yucky.
That’s my son stirring the hamburger mixture. He’s so sweet!
Oops! Forgot to add shredded cheese on top. Oh well!
Overall, I was disappointed. Perhaps I expected more of a pot pie flavor? It was edible, and fairly pleasant tasting — just not what I wanted. That said, tonight is leftover night — it’s this or spaghetti. Hmmm…
P.S. Just found out CW absolutely loved this stuff and can’t wait until we make it again. Go figure…
