Sandy's Slow Cooker Shepherd's Pie
A cottage pie recipe for the slow cooker. Use ground lamb in this dish for a more authentic version.

Ingredients:

  • 3 medium russet potatoes
  • salt, pepper, garlic powder to taste
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 teaspoon beef flavor concentrate
  • 1 can (14-15 oz) green beans, drained
  • shredded cheddar cheese, for topping

Preparation:

Spray slow cooker/Crock Pot with cooking spray. Scrub about 3 medium russet potatoes and cut into smallish chunks, leaving the skin on. (If you cut the spuds into too large a size pieces, they will take too long to cook since everything else is basically done.) This made one layer on the bottom of my 5-quart slow cooker/Crock Pot. Season spuds with salt, pepper and garlic powder to your own taste.
Brown 1 pound of ground beef with 1/2 chopped onion, drain fat. Put on top of spuds. Mix one can of Campbell's Cream of Mushroom soup with 1 tsp beef concentrate flavor or base. Drain one 14 or 15 ounce can of cut green beans and put in slow cooker/Crock Pot. Cover and cook on high for 3 hours, stirring a couple of times. Turn to low and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top and cook for 30 minutes or so.
Makes 4 servings

Sandy's comments: My husband thought that this dish could have used more green beans. We dished it up, poured catsup on top and felt it to be as yummy tasting as when we were kids and our moms made something similar.

Prepared recipe as printed. Prepared it at work and everyone who ate it raved about it. Thought the amount of green beans was just right. Thought more would be more towards green bean cassarole. The potatoes were just enough. Wouldn't change a thing and would prepare this again!
