🥘 How To Make Martha Stewart Shepherd’s Pie

Make the meat filling:

  1. Put the big pan over medium-high heat for two minutes after adding the oil. Put the onions in. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring every now and then.
  2. Break up the ground beef (or lamb) with a wooden spoon after adding it to the pan. Put the rosemary, thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper in the pan. Mix well. Stir the meat every so often for 6 to 8 minutes, or until it turns brown.
  3. Put the garlic and Worcestershire sauce in there. Use a stir to mix. For one minute, cook.
  4. Put in the tomato paste and flour. Mix it in until there are no more bits of tomato paste.
  5. Put in the stock, frozen corn, peas, and carrots. Get the liquid to a boil, then turn it down to a simmer. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring every now and then.
  6. Leave the meat mix alone. Warm the oven up to 400 degrees F.

Make the Potato Topping:

  1. Put the potatoes in a big pot. Put water over the potatoes. Heat the water up. Bring to a simmer. Ten to fifteen minutes, or until the potatoes are soft enough to pierce with a fork.
  2. Use a bowl to drain the potatoes. Put the potatoes back in the hot pot. Leave the potatoes in the hot pot for one minute to dry out any juice that is still there.
  3. Salt and pepper should be added along with the butter and half-and-half. Make a mash with the potatoes and mix everything else in with them.
  4. Put the Parmesan cheese on top of the potatoes. Mix everything together well.

Assemble the Casserole:

  1. Put the meat mix into a baking dish that is 9×9 inches (or 7×11 inches). Level it out so that it looks good. Put some mashed potatoes on top of the meat. Carefully make a layer that’s all the same size.
  2. Put the baking dish on a baking sheet with a lip around the edge if it looks like it’s going to be very full. This will keep the filling from bubbling over into the oven. Leave it out to bake for 25 to 30 minutes,let it cool for 15 minutes before you serve.

💭 Recipe Tips:

  • Mashing Potatoes: Boil potatoes until easily pierced with a fork for a smooth and creamy mash.
  • Mash Moisture Control: Drain potatoes thoroughly and let them sit in the pot to remove excess moisture.
  • Parmesan Finishing Touch: Sprinkle Parmesan evenly for a golden and flavorful crust on the mashed potatoes.
