A delicious use for leftover beef and mashed potatoes!

Ingredients:

  • 1 large onion, quartered and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
  • 2 cups diced leftover roast beef
  • 2 cups brown or beef gravy, leftover or prepared from mix
  • 1/2 cup sliced or diced cooked carrots
  • 1 cup frozen peas, cooked
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 cups leftover mashed potatoes

Preparation:

Melt butter in a heavy skillet over medium heat; add onions. Sauté onions until tender; add diced beef, gravy, carrots, and peas. Heat through; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer to baking dish. Beat the egg yolk into potatoes and spoon potatoes over the shepherd's pie meat and vegetables (press potatoes through a pastry tube, if desired). Bake shepherd's pie at 400° for about 30 minutes, or until mashed potatoes are browned and gravy is bubbling. Shepherd's pie serves 4.

My husband can't stop raving about this recipe!July 28, 2008By lynneeve
"Sheperd's Pie is a guy thing, I'm pretty sure. I thought this dish tasted good, but my husband went insane over it. It is the quantity of gravy in this recipe that made me choose it over the 100's of other recipes. My husband loves gravy, lots of gravy. This next best thing about this recipe is the sauted onions. This recipe is a 5-star winner at our house."
