Shephard's Pie....

I made this tonight for dinner.... Yummmmm.... it came out sooo good, but I used a pound of pork instead of hamburger meat, and I added in peas w/carrots & corn. It came out PERFECT!

Shepherd's Pie

1 pound lean ground beef

1/2 cup chopped onion (optional)

1 12-ounce jar beef gravy

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1 cup frozen green peas

2 cups mashed potatoes

1 tablespoon butter or margarine

1/2 cup sour cream or reduced-fat sour cream

1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Heat the oven to 350 degrees.

Cook the ground beef and onion in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until meat is browned and onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Drain the beef mixture and return to the skillet.

Add the gravy, Worcestershire and peas to the skillet and simmer on medium-low heat for 2 minutes.

Meanwhile, combine prepared mashed potatoes with butter or margarine and sour cream.

Pour meat mixture into a 9-inch pie pan. Spread mashed potatoes over the meat mixture and top with the grated cheese.

Bake for 30 minutes, until heated through.

Makes 4 servings.

I haven't had this since I was a kid!! Do you think I could use ground turkey instead?

Sounds good. I'll have to try it when the weather cools down. I haven't had Shephards Pie in so long.

Shepherds pie is traditionally made with Lamb, Cottage pie is made with beef.
