Savory Shepherd's Pie image

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 20

FOR THE FILLING
1 medium onion - diced
1 1/2 lb ground beef, or turkey
1 bottle Heinz homestyle gravy - savory beef flavor
1 can(s) french onion soup
1 pkg Lipton Recipe Secrets - onion mushroom flavor
8 mushrooms - chopped
1/2 c seasoned bread crumbs
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
lb frozen mixed vegetables
1 Tbsp fresh parsley - chopped
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1 bay leaf
FOR THE POTATOES
4 medium potatoes peeled, cut and boiled
1/2 c milk
2 Tbsp butter
1 tsp vegetable seasoning (optional)
Drizzle of vegetable oil

Steps:

  • 1. In a large sauce pan, brown ground meat and onions together, drain off excess fat.
  • 2. Combine all other ingredients for the filling with the cooked meat, mix and simmer for 30 mins.
  • 3. Boil potatoes for 10 mins until tender.
  • 4. Add milk, butter and vegetable seasoning to potatoes and mash to a smooth consistency.
  • 5. Place the filling into a 2-2.5 QT/L oven ready Pyrex container or equivalent, then spread the mashed potatoes on top of the filling trying not to mix them too much. You want a layer of potatoes as the 'pastry' of your pie.
  • 6. Drag a fork across the surface of the mashed potatoes creating an uneven series of 'grooves' on the top of the pie.
  • 7. Drizzle lightly across your grooves with vegetable oil, then broil on High until the surface of your pie becomes golden brown and crispy - about 10 mins.
  • 8. Serve and Enjoy!!
