Texas Style Hash Browns Shepherds Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Brown meat and onions in a dry frying pan on high heat. Meat will cook in its own juices, so do not add oil. When cooked, drain.
• Tip back into frying pan and add tomatoes, soup, mushrooms and peas.
• Add one can full of water and stir.
• Add Worcestershire Sauce and A1 Steak Sauce to taste. (Use approx 2 tbsp of Worcestershire Sauce as a guideline, and 1 tsp of A1, but you will know when it tastes right!).
• Cook on a high heat until bubbling, then cover and reduce heat.
• Simmer for 10 - 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• In the meantime add cheese and milk together in a bowl. Add beaten egg and stir until well mixed. Set aside.
• When Meat mixture has condensed down and thickened slightly, remove from heat.
• Spoon mixture into a 9x13-inch oven pan with a slotted spoon, draining off excess 'juice' if necessary.
• Pan should be 1/2 to 3/4 full.
• Add packaged hash brown mix on top of the meat mixture, pressing down to compact.
• Pour egg, milk and cheese mixture (above) on top of the hash browns, and bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes, or until hash browns have browned to a nice crispy golden colour.
• During the last few minutes of cooking, you can add extra shredded cheese to the top of the pie, and broil for a few minutes to melt.
• This recipe tastes great when served with HP sauce (which is a spicy English sauce). My husband also enjoys it with ketchup, however neither of these are necessary, and this is simply a serving suggestion! Enjoy!

Steps:

• In skillet heat oil over medium heat; cook onion and garlic, stirring for 3 minutes. Add beef, chili powder, oregano, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring to break up meat for 5 minutes.
• Add tomatoes, breaking up further with spoon. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 15 minutes or until thickened. Stir in vegetables. Spoon into greased 10" pie plate.
• Topping: In a bowl, toss together potatoes, cheese, salt and pepper. Stir in egg and combine well. Spoon evenly over meat mixture.
• Bake in 400°F oven for 30 minutes. Broil for about 3 minutes or until topping is golden.
