Delicious Easy Shepherd's Pie image

The secret to this wonderful dish is the texture of the meat which is ground 3 times. have the butcher grind 2 more times. I use the Idaho Reds instant potatoes I find at Costco. EASY! EASY! EASY!

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 cups mashed potatoes, made from instant mashed potatoes
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 1/2 lbs ground chuck or 2 1/2 lbs ground sirloin, not too lean but not too fatty
2 large garlic cloves, chopped
2 bay leaves
3 tablespoons flour
2 cups beef stock
1 (8 ounce) can chopped tomatoes
1 (10 ounce) package frozen peas and carrots
1 cup frozen pearl onions
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Unwrap frozen peas & carrots and place box on paper towel in microwave oven, cook for 5 minutes to thaw and drain on the towel.
  • In nice sized pan over medium heat, add the oil to coat the pan.
  • Add meat, garlic, onions & bay leaves.
  • Season with a little Salt & Pepper.
  • When the meat is browned, sprinkle with flour and stir while cooking for 3-4 more minutes.
  • Stir in beef broth and cook for 2 minutes until mixture starts to thicken.
  • Add peas & carrots, parsley & tomatoes.
  • If needed you may want to cook down a little uncovered if it seems "too juicy".
  • Remove the bay leaves.
  • Spoon evenly in sprayed 9 x 13 pan and cover with mashed potatoes & dot with butter.
