Pinterest Review: 30 Minute Shepherd's Pie

I've had potatoes left over since Thanksgiving, and wanted to have some Shepherd's Pie.  mmmm, shepherd's pie...  I hadn't had it in a while and oh it was so good...

I used the recipe from KeyIngredient.com.

30 Minute Shepherd's Pie

Ingredients

2	pounds potatoes, such as russet, peeled and cubed
2	tablespoons sour cream or softened cream cheese
1	large egg yolk
½	cup cream
	Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1	tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil1¾ pounds ground beef
2	carrots, peeled and chopped
1	onion, chopped
2	tablespoons butter
2	tablespoons all-purpose flour
1	cup beef stock or broth
1	tablespoon tomato paste
½ to ¾	cup ketchup
2	teaspoons Worcestershire, eyeball it
½	cup frozen peas
½	cup frozen corn
1	teaspoon sweet paprika
2	tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves

Directions

Boil potatoes in salted water until tender, about 12 minutes. Drain potatoes and pour them into a bowl. Combine sour cream, egg yolk and cream. Add the cream mixture into potatoes and mash until potatoes are almost smooth. While potatoes boil, preheat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add oil to hot pan with beef.. Season meat with salt and pepper. Brown and crumble meat for 3 or 4 minutes. If you are using lamb and the pan is fatty, spoon away some of the drippings. Add chopped carrot and onion to the meat. Cook veggies with meat 5 minutes, stirring frequently. In a second small skillet over medium heat cook butter and flour together 2 minutes. Whisk in broth,tomato paste, ketchup and Worcestershire sauce. Thicken gravy 1 minute. Add gravy to meat and vegetables. Stir in peas and corn. Preheat broiler to high. Fill a small rectangular casserole with meat and vegetable mixture. Spoon potatoes over meat evenly. Top potatoes with paprika and broil 6 to 8 inches from the heat until potatoes are evenly browned. Top casserole dish with chopped parsley and serve.

Of course, because it's me, I made some changes.  We had ground turkey on hand, instead of ground beef.  I also make the potatoes just like it would make mashed potatoes to serve because I knew there would be more than enough.  Also, no paprika or parsley.  And I didn't really measure the Worcestershire because I LOVE IT!

And you know what?  It was aswesome!  And there was enough left for 2 leftovers!  Yum, lunch!
