Simple Shepherd’s Pie Recipe Instructions
- In a skillet heated over medium heat, add in your meat and onions. Continue to stir and cook until your meat is browned, and your onions are caramelized. Remove any excess moisture.
- Add to your meat and onions your garlic, vegetables, flour, beef broth, half of the can of tomato soup, Worcestershire sauce, rosemary, thyme, and your bay leaf.
- Mix well until everything is incorporated. With a lid on your skillet allow this to simmer for about 10 minutes. If you find that your sauce is a little drier than you would prefer, add in the remaining amount of tomato soup.
- Preheat your oven to 400°.
- Once you 10 minutes are done, add this meat mixture to an 8×8 inch pan. Allow your meat to sit in this pan for about five minutes and cool slightly. This will help the mashed potatoes to go on smoother.
- Add your mashed potatoes to the top and smooth out making sure that everything is evenly distributed.
- Bake in the oven for about 30 minutes, or until your potatoes start to brown. If you like your potatoes to have a nice browning on the top, you can leave them under the broiler for about 5-10 minutes until it reaches your desired color.
- Remove from the oven, and sprinkle with cheese and more rosemary.
- Serve and enjoy!
