I kicked up this version of the reg. sheperds pie by sauteeing the mushrooms in wine, and adding two palmfuls of cheese inbetween the potatoes and meat mixture and added double the sour cream in the potatoes!!
Ingredients
- 2 .5 to 3 pounds (about 6 medium) russet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks shopping list
- 2 tablespoons – extra virgin olive oil shopping list
- 1.5lbs ground sirloin shopping list
- salt and ground black pepper shopping list
- 2-3 carrots, peeled & chopped shopping list
- 1 large onion (white), chopped shopping list
- 2 tablespoons butter shopping list
- 1 Bay Leaf shopping list
- 2-4 tablespoons flour shopping list
- 1/2 cup vino tinto (red wine) shopping list
- 1 - 1 1/2 beef stock shopping list
- 1/2 cup - 1 cup-light sour cream shopping list
- 2 cloves garlic, minced shopping list
- 2-4 cups sliced mushrooms (yes up to four cups & whatever type you prefer) shopping list
- 1 1/2 cups- shredded 4 cheese (Mexican Blend) shopping list
- 2 tbsp- fresh chopped chives, for garnish shopping list
- paprika, for garnish shopping list
How to make it
- Place the potatoes in a medium-sized pot, cover them with cold water and bring to a boil. Once the water comes to a boil, put salt and cook potatoes until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain the potatoes and allow them to cool slightly. Mash them and then stir in the sour cream, black pepper, and butter. Set aside.
- While the potatoes are cooking, begin to make the meat mixture.: Heat the Extra Virgin Olive Oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat for one to two minutes. Add the meat and brown it well, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the vegetables and bay leaf to meat, season with salt and pepper and cook until the vegetables are softened, 8-10 minutes.
- While cooking the meat mixture, put a few tablespoons of butter, fresh garlic in another skillet and add mushrooms.. Sautee for 3-5 mintues and add red wine, beef stock, and flour. Sautee and whisk for another 3-5 minutes. Mix with the meat mixture once done.
- Get a medium sized tin pan (see picture) and put the meat mixture on the bottom. Spread evenly and then top with all the Mexican Blend grated cheese. Spread the sour cream mashed potatoes over the meat mixture.
- Bake in a 400 degree preheated over for 15 minutes. Then take pan out and put on top shelf in over (if your broiler is on the top) and turn your oven to broil and brown the potatoes until they are nice and golden. (see pic)
- Lastly, let cool for about five to seven minutes and top with chives.. and serve.
