Shepherd's Pie

Tuesday, November 2, 2010

I have finally decided to make this dish. It's been a few years and it always looks so good on the screen but it's not really what I thought it would be. There wasn't a whole lot of flavor so I think I'm going to play around with ingredients and re-edit this post at a later time. I already know some of the changes, like adding 1/2lb of ground lamb, some more seasoning and maybe chopped garlic and milk to the potatoes. I'll let you know how the next batch goes.

Ingredients:

4 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
1/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
salt and pepper to taste
5 carrots, chopped
1 cup of peas
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
1 pounds lean ground beef
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 cup beef broth
1/4 cup worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Directions:

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 and set aside. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

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, worcestershire 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.

3/4 cup milk
1 cup sour cream

In a large mixing bowl, whip together the potatoes, butter, Romano cheese, milk, salt, pepper and sour cream.

It tasted pretty good we ate ours with ham. It has a slightly sharp and tangy but still tasted good.

Seahawks Potatoes

Monday, October 19, 2009

Ingredients:


1 pkg. Orieda frozen diced potatoes – thaw them in warm water in your sink, open the bag and drain the water once thawed
1 12oz pkg. shredded medium cheddar cheese
1 8oz sour cream – do not use non fat
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 small ham, don’t use smoked or honey ham, use plain picnic ham – 3 to 4 cups cut up in cubes


Directions:


4 to 6 qt. Crockpot or slow cooker (spray the inside). Place the hash browns in the cooker, mix the cream of chicken and sour cream together first, then mix them into the potatoes.
Now toss in the ham and half of the cheese

Cook slow for 4 to 6 hours depending on the cooker, don’t mix up the mixture as you will mash the potatoes

30 minutes before you are ready to each them mix in the rest of the cheese, I usually just throw about half in and mix gently then put the rest on top to melt

I didn't care for this too much. I accidentally purchased shredded potatoes and I don't think there was enough potatoes. Next time I will try it with diced, hopefully it will taste a bit better.
