My Mom's Shepherd's Pie
Leftovers never tasted better. Steamy hot pie in an iron skillet is fall comfort food at it's best.
Equipment
- Cast Iron Skillet or Dutch Oven
Ingredients
- leftover roast beef, shredded
- gravy
- mashed potatoes with lots of butter and cream
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Layer shredded roast beef over the bottom of your skillet or casserole dish.
- Spread a layer of gravy over the roast beef.
- Add a layer of green beans or mixed vegetables.
- Top with mashed potatoes.
- Go all fancy with a sprinkling of pepper or paprika over the mashed potatoes.
Notes
- Bake the browned beef with plenty of onion and seasonings. Let the meat cool before mixing the Shepherd's Pie.
- All the ingredients should be cool, or better, fridge cold, before assembly. This keeps the layers from smushing together too much when you bake it. (Is smush a culinary term?)
