Beef Shepherd's Pie
Ingredients
- 4 cups frozen, seasoned potato puffs
- 1 large shallot
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1 lb ground beef
- 8 oz sliced white mushrooms
- 1 (10.5 oz) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
- ½ cup whole milk
- 2 cups frozen peas and carrots
- 1 refrigerated rolled pie crust
Steps
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Arrange potatoes in 9-inch square baking dish; bake 12–14 minutes until golden.
- Meanwhile, chop shallot finely. Preheat large sauté pan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Place oil in pan, then add shallots and ground beef; brown 5–7 minutes, stirring to crumble meat, until no pink remains and meat is 160°F. Add mushrooms; cook and stir 2–3 minutes until mushrooms are tender.
- Stir in soup, milk, and peas and carrots; cook and stir 2–3 minutes until hot and blended. Remove pan from heat.
- Remove potatoes from oven; top with ground beef mixture. Arrange pie crust carefully over top of baking dish; trim or fold over edge of crust to fit, then crimp to seal. Bake 25–30 minutes until crust is golden. Let stand 5 minutes to cool. Serve.
