Here is the final shepherd’s pie. My mashed potatoes were a bit dry which was okay the first time. However, leftovers were super dry.
The insides were good and the lamby grease was all throughout the veggies. My tastebuds are not fine tuned enough to descriminate against ground beef in the shepherd’s pie and our grocery budget would sure appreciate the break.
What I’m trying to say is, even though it was very good, I will stick to using the cheaper ground beef in my future recipes.
Cooked up a bunch of veggies and a pound of lamb (on sale). I did a lazy shepherd’s pie for supper because I didn’t want to chop all those vegetables.
Peeled and boiled potatoes for the mashed potato topping. Thawed and cooked two bags of veggies. I chopped and sautéd mushrooms and an onion in the grease leftover from the lamb and a dash of olive oil.
The taters got a half stick of butter, salt and pepper. The veggies got salt and a Mediterranean seasoning and the meat got a mesquite grinder seasoning mix.
Mixed the veg and meat together, put it in a dish, layer of mashed potatoes and topped with Cheddar cheese. Baked for 20 minutes on 350. Boom.
I am melting. It was awesome!
