Blue Ribbon Shepherds Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash. Mix in butter, finely chopped onion and 1/4 cup shredded cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste; set aside.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add carrots and cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain, mash and set aside. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C.)
• Heat oil in a large frying pan. Add onion and cook until clear. Add ground beef and cook until well browned. Pour off excess fat, then stir in flour and cook 1 minute. Add ketchup and beef broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
• Spread the ground beef in an even layer on the bottom of a 2 quart casserole dish. Next, spread a layer of mashed carrots. Top with the mashed potato mixture and sprinkle with remaining shredded cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until golden brown.

Steps:

• 1. Brown the ground chuck beef and the onion. Drain the fat.
• 2. Add the four cans of veggies (mixed, corn, and green beans), 2 packs of gravy mix and 2 cups cold water. Stir well. Allow the mixture to cook until thick. If it doesn't thicken, add about 1/4 cup instant potato flakes and it will thicken nicely. If your mixture is too thick (gooey and lumpy), add about 1/2 cup more water.
• 3. Pour mixture into a casserole dish and top with mashed potatoes.
• 4. Top generously with grated cheese.
• 5. Place under broiler until the cheese melts and starts to turn a nice golden brown.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350. Spray a 9 x 11 pan with vegetable spray and set aside.
• 2. In a large skillet melt butter. Add flour and stir to combine well making a roux. Cook for about 1 minute.
• 3. Add chicken stock stirring constantly until mixture thickens. Add salt and pepper and stir to combine well.
• 4. Stir in mixed vegetables and cubed chicken. Stir to combine well.
• 5. Transfer to prepared baking pan. Top with spoonfuls of the mashed potatoes and smooth out to cover the chicken, vegetable mixture. Sprinkle top with paprika.
• 6. Bake for 30-45 minutes until hot and bubbly.

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes and cut into 1/2-inch dice. Place in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Set over high heat, cover and bring to a boil. Once boiling, uncover, decrease the heat to maintain a simmer and cook until tender and easily crushed with tongs, approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Place the half-and-half and butter into a microwave-safe container and heat in the microwave until warmed through, about 35 seconds. Drain the potatoes in a colander and then return to the saucepan. Mash the potatoes and then add the half and half, butter, salt and pepper and continue to mash until smooth. Stir in the yolk until well combined.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the filling. Place the canola oil into a 12-inch saute pan and set over medium high heat. Once the oil shimmers, add the onion and carrots and saute just until they begin to take on color, approximately 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and stir to combine. Add the lamb, salt and pepper and cook until browned and cooked through, approximately 3 minutes. Sprinkle the meat with the flour and toss to coat, continuing to cook for another minute. Add the tomato paste, chicken broth, Worcestershire, rosemary, thyme, and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer slowly 10 to 12 minutes or until the sauce is thickened slightly.
• Add the corn and peas to the lamb mixture and spread evenly into an 11 by 7-inch glass baking dish. Top with the mashed potatoes, starting around the edges to create a seal to prevent the mixture from bubbling up and smooth with a rubber spatula. Place on a parchment lined half sheet pan on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 25 minutes or just until the potatoes begin to brown. Remove to a cooling rack for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Cover potato cubes with water in saucepan and simmer until tender. Meanwhile, in large skillet, saute hamburger with onion until meat is browned and onion is translucent; drain. Add soup, can of corn, drained, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper to meat mixture and mix well. Pour into 2 quart casserole.
• Drain potatoes, add butter, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper. Mash while adding evaporated milk, a little at a time, until they are mashed and smooth (it may not take the whole can of milk).
• Spread mashed potatoes over the top of the meat mixture, making sure to get all the way to the edges. Sprinkle cheese over top. Bake 30-40 minutes until hot and bubbly.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat over to 375 degrees. Then brown your hamburger and make 6-8 servings of instant potatoes.
• 2. Drain grease from hamburger then mix in mixed vegetables and cream of mushroom soup.
• 3. pour meat/veggie/soup mix into a 13x9 inch pan and spread around evenly.
• 4. spread grated cheese evenly over meat/veggie/soup mixture.
• 5. spoon mashed potatoes evenly over cheese layer
• 6. Add more grated cheese over mashed potatoes
• 7. Cover with tin foil and bake for 30 minutes (long enough for it to melt the cheese and be hot through and through).
• 8. We like to serve it with simple cornbread. Served with a big spoon or spatula. :)

Steps:

• Place potatoes in large saucepan and add enough water to cover by 2 inches. Stir in 1 tablespoon salt and place pot over medium-high heat; bring to a boil. Cook until potatoes are fork tender, about 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and drain.
• Return potatoes to the hot pan and set over the same burner. Add milk and 2 tablespoons butter; allow butter to melt from the residual heat. Mash potatoes with a potato masher until smooth. Stir in Cheddar cheese, sour cream, egg yolk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Set aside while you prepare the filling.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
• Heat olive oil and remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and carrot and cook, stirring constantly, until onion begins to turn translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Add lamb and beef and cook, crumbling with a spoon and stirring often until browned, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle meat mixture with flour, remaining salt and pepper, rosemary, and thyme. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes.
• Add beef stock, tomato paste, and Worcestershire; cook, scraping any flavorful bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring mixture to a simmer. Cook until thickened and vegetables are tender, about 8 minutes. Stir in peas. Transfer mixture to the prepared casserole dish and top with the prepared mashed potatoes.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden and bubbly around the edges, 25 to 30 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Steps:

• Mix first three ingredients in a large bowl.
