Recipe: Appetizing Shepherd's Pie (my version)

Shepherd's Pie (my version). In the beginning I would like to clarify that technically Shepherd's pie is basically a beef casserole. But I have adapted this popular and delicious comfort food to the meat that we eat; which is Chicken. So this is basically a Chicken casserole.

This is my own version of Shepherd's Pie - My first time filming what I cook! This is my favorite part of shepherd's pie and this version doesn't disappoint. In a medium pot, add the stock, cauliflower, onion, salt and pepper. You can cook Shepherd's Pie (my version) using 9 ingredients and 4 steps. Here is how you achieve that.

Ingredients of Shepherd's Pie (my version)

1. It's 6 of russet potatoes, peeled and cut in quarters.
2. It's 1 of ground meat ( i used ground chicken breast), seasoned with sea salt, black pepper, fresh garlic and dill.
3. You need 1 of small onion, diced.
4. It's 1 of cup of corn, frozen or fresh (was what i had, but you can add any veggies you like).
5. Prepare 1/3 of cup of crumbled cooked bacon.
6. You need 2 of cups italian blend cheese, divided.
7. Prepare 2 of tbsp. margarine.
8. It's 1 of milk to mash the potatoes.
9. It's 2 of garlic cloves, mashed.

Leave it uncovered and heat until the ingredients are simmering. Then toss in the fresh thyme, rosemary and garlic and remove from the heat. This is definitely not shepherd's pie. It tasted quite funny with the cumin and picante sauce.

Shepherd's Pie (my version) instructions

1. Cook potatoes in a boiler with salted water. Let cook until tender. Drain. Keep the lid on so they stay hot, it will be easier to mash..
2. Meanwhile start cooking the meat. Add the onions, bacon, garlic and corn when meat is almost done..
3. Add milk, margarine and garlic cloves to the potatoes. Start mashing, add 1 cup of the cheese. The potatoes should be soft and creamy..
4. In a pan (i used an 8x8) sprayed with canola oil put half of the mashed potatoes, then add the meat then the rest of potatoes. Top with the other cup of cheese. Put on oven at 400F, for 20 minutes or cheese is golden brown..

Perhaps it would be better served over rice. I regret making so much and wasting some nice organic ground beef on this recipe. To make a REAL quick shepherd's pie, throw out the cumin, picante sauce, beans, and cheese. Cover, set aside, keep warm while preparing beef. In a large skillet, heat olive oil, stir fry beef until no longer pink.
