Preparation
Step 1
This is my take on the classic Shepherd's Pie. Loaded mashed potatoes and a surprise seasoning make the difference.
1 pkg (0.87 oz) brown gravy mix
Brown ground beef, onions and mushrooms over medium heat in a large skillet. Drain fat and season with salt, garlic powder and brown gravy mix. Stir well and set aside.
Place diced potatoes in an appropriate size saucepan--2 quart size should be fine. Cover with water and add about 1-2 tsp salt.
Boil potatoes until tender. Drain very well.
Mash potatoes with sour cream, until potatoes are not lumpy. Add green onion and bacon--you can reserve a small amount for a garnish, if desired. Stir in cheese--you can reserve about 2 tbs of this for garnish if desired.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Place reserved ground beef mixture in a 9-inch deep dish pie pan. Distribute evenly across the bottom.
Do you add the pkg of gravy mix dry or do you prepare it according to pkg directions and then add to the beef?
The brown gravy mix is used as a condiment here. If you want to mix in a little water, you can, but you don't prepare it like gravy.
Mixed veggies on top of the meat mixture (peas, carrots) will make this more authentic
Beauty of this is you can add whatever you like! I grew up eating it the standard way since my mother was British. My family seems to prefer it without veggies.
