Cozy Shepherd's Pie

By Wewah

I ruined this recipe by trying to blend the potatoes in the Vitamix. Turned to glue. The flavor of the ingredients was good, but I'd not recommend it otherwise.

Ingredients

• Potato topping:
• 2 pounds peeled baking potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces (about 4 cups)
• 1/2 cup low-fat sour cream
• 1/4 cup 1% low-fat milk

• 1 teaspoon butter or stick margarine

Preparation

To prepare potato topping, place potatoes in a saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a boil; cook 20 minutes or until very tender. Drain. Place potatoes, sour cream, and next 5 ingredients (sour cream through pepper) in a large bowl, and beat at medium speed of a mixer until smooth. Keep warm.

Preheat oven to 375°.

To prepare filling, heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add carrot; sauté 7 minutes. Add mushrooms; sauté 5 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon sage and garlic; sauté 2 minutes. Sprinkle with flour; cook 2 minutes, stirring until well-blended. Add broth and wine; bring to a boil. Stir in tomato paste and vinegar. Add pot roast; cook 2 minutes. Spoon meat mixture into a 2-quart casserole.

Spread potato topping over meat mixture; sprinkle with paprika. Bake at 375° for 45 minutes or until golden brown.
