Shephards Pie

I have always wanted to try Shephards Pie, it just sounds so yummy.
It is also super dee dooper easy.
1 lb hamburger
1/4 lg onion diced
2 garlic cloves sliced
1/2 large zucchini - sliced in quarters
1 whole small yellow squash cut same size
leftover mashed potatoes
1 egg yolk
salt, pepper to taste
paprika for color

Brown hamburger in oven proof skillet breaking it up as you go. I added a little beef tallow to the pan because my meat is grass fed and lean. Add onion as you cut along with garlic towards the end. I also added some leftover peas, about a 1/2 cup.

I then parboiled the squashes for about 8 minutes to soften, strain and add to pan when done stirring well. Salt, pepper to taste.

Add a little milk to your potatoes if they are cold to make them creamy. Add 1 egg yolk and stir.

Top hamburger mixture with potatoes covering like a lid. You can sprinkle with paprika to make pretty.

Cook in 400 degree oven for 30 minutes.
Eat up!!!

  4. Looks great! I've never seen it used with squash. I always make mine with hamburg/onions, corn and potatoes (with LOTS of butter!). I'll have to try this way! Thanks for sharing!
