List of Ingredients
Connecticut Yankee Shepherd's Pie
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 to 1 1/2 pound ground beef
1 onion
1 carrot
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup beef broth
2 tablespoons cornstarch
3-4 large unpeeled potatoes, cut into chunks
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup non-fat sour cream
1-1/2 cups frozen green peas
1 cup yellow cheddar cheese, shreddedRecipe
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Boil potatoes until tender.
Drain, then mash potatoes with oil, salt and sour cream.
Meanwhile, brown meat in a skillet, and finely mince onions and carrots in a food processor. To drain the fat, spoon browned meat into a strainer.
Return meat to skillet with onion, carrot, black pepper and broth.
Simmer for 15 minutes. In a cup, mix cornstarch with 1/4 cup of water, and stir into beef.
Stir for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.
Layer into 10x10 inch baking dish: meat, frozen peas, cheese, and mashed potatoes, in that order. Sprinkle top with paprika, and bake for 25 minutes or until potatoes begin to brown.
Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
Serves 4-6.
