Shepard's Pie

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground hamburger
• 3 Russet potatoes
• 2 carrots
• 3 tbs butter
• Salt
• 2 parsnips
• 1/4 C cream
• Pepper
• 1 tbs flour
• 1/4 C sour cream
• garlic and onion powder
• 1 //2 C beef stock
• 1 egg
• paprika

Preparation

Step 1

Brown the meat with salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder. Drain the fat from the pan. Sprinkle with flour then pour stock in. Cook for another 2 minutes. Put in a deep pie plate. Chop veggies and saute until tender. Mix them in with the meat.

Peel, chop and boil potatoes. Drain them well and mash them via your method. I prefer to whip them in my stand mixer with butter, cream, sour cream, egg, salt and pepper. I know the egg sounds weird but it gives the potatoes a little crust. Layer the potatoes over the meat and sprinkle with paprika. Bake until all nice and hot, if it has cooled. I like to time it so everything finishes together, it's all still hot and I just put it under the broiler to get a nice brown crust on top.
