Momma’s Shepherd’s Pie Recipe, Gooseberry #5

Filed Under: Supper Tagged With: cooking, Gooseberry Patch cookbooks shepherd's pie 5 Comments

Looking for a fast and easy one pan family meal? Momma’s Shepherd’s Pie is just that recipe and delicious. You can prepare it the night before, just cover and refrigerate and add 15 minutes to the baking time. Or an hour ahead of your meal time, take 20 minutes to quickly whip it together and put it in the over for a fast and easy family meal.
If you have leftover mashed potatoes or want to boil some up and mash them for this recipe that would work best. I was crunched for time and had store bought Simple Potatoes I had purchased to take camping that I hadn’t used. I used those in the recipe and they were a fine substitute to homemade mashed potatoes. I’m sure I’ve broken some golden rule of making Shepherd’s Pie by not mashing my own potatoes but sometimes you gotta do what is easiest in the moment. Regardless of how you mash your potatoes, the recipe is easy and your family will enjoy it. 

You’ll need:
1 1/2 lbs. ground beef, browned and drained
(which is what the recipe calls for but I have been notified today by readers that this is NOT real Shepherd’s Pie with out lamb or mutton) Whatever ground meat you are using, go for it. 
15 oz. can cream of mushroom soup
14 1/2 oz. can green beans, drained
15 1/4 oz can corn, drained
4 servings mashed potatoes
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup Colby cheese, shredded

Mix together ground beef and soup; spread in an ungreased 9×9 pan. I doubled the recipe so you’ll see I used a larger pan. 

Layer beans and corn over top of the beef mixture.

Combine potatoes, eggs and Parmesan cheese; spread over vegetables.

Top with shredded cheeses. Bake, covered, at 375F for 45 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Serves 4 (which is why I doubled this recipe). I have a family of five to feed but really with the teenage boy it’s like feeding a family of eight.
Our son remembers eating Shepherd’s Pie at an Irish restaurant in Downtown Disney World a few years ago. Being a  thought it was divine and ranked right up there with his favorite Disney World version of Shepherd’s Pie. If the kids are smiling after a meal then I have succeeded with a recipe. 
What’s a comfort food you enjoy making?
Momma’s Shepherd’s Pie was the fifth recipe I have prepared from Gooseberry Patch’s Comfort Foods cookbook which I’ll be giving away a copy with the RealFarmwives of America once I have cooked and shared ten recipes. Momma’s Shepherd Pie definitely is a comfort food but also is a recipe I will use again for a family meal.

    That looks so yummy. Guess I shouldn’t be looking right before lunch time. I might have to try that one, though I know my husband wouldn’t touch it, my kids would be thrilled. And I loved the oatmeal recipe you shared from the gooseberry patch cookbook.

    YUM! I love Simply Potatoes. They use potatoes grown by family farmers in MN and ND.

Welcome to the Prairie…

I am a mom of three kids and a wife to Nathan. Together we live on the North Dakota prairie, 97 miles from a Starbuck's. I share about family, food, farming and the prairie that I love. I used to commute 98 miles one-way to work but it required too much coffee. So now I am home, consulting, speaking, writing and primarily, juggling family life.
