Tutorial Tuesday: Faux Shepherd's Pie
Tutorial Tuesday
Tutorial Tuesday's design is to visually share money saving food preparation techniques along with easy and inexpensive recipes. This week I am happy to share how to make a delicious One Pan Wonder... Faux Shepherd's Pie.
An extra special thank you to Jolyn (author of Macomb Money Savers) and her yummy recipe sharing friend Lisa... I dedicate this week's post to you ladies!!!

*Note: I'm pretty sure that I have never used corn starch before- so I had to make a mad dash last minute run to get some... don't worry if you need to purchase some too, mine was only $1.29!

The recipe calls for STIFF mashed potatoes, which means NO milk or butter can be added. So I decided to whip out my Kitchen-Aid stand mixer and let it do the hard work of mashing for me! (I WILL NEVER HAND MASH AGAIN...EVER!)
Bonus features from using a mixer (just in time for Thanksgiving... you're welcome!)
1. Perfectly smooth mashed potatoes!
2. All of the swirling helped to cool the potatoes more quickly.
3. I could attend to making the rest of the recipe- I simply just walked away!
4. No muscle fatigue or cranky attitude flare up mid-mashing!

Once the ground beef has been thoroughly cooked, I added the contents of one can of cream of chicken soup. Mix well and heat thoroughly.


TIP: Once you are satisfied that your contents are thoroughly mixed, pour immediately into the pot on the stove. The cornstarch will settle to the bottom of the container when you stop stirring.

Keep stirring until all of your ingredients are heated thoroughly and are combined well.
Next, I loaded up a piping bag with an extra large decorating tip (I knew these would come in handy someday...) and I squeezed little dollops of mashed potatoes, coating the top. In truth, you could just spread a thin layer of potatoes on top with a spatula... but where is the fun in that? AND... I loved cutting perfect pieces between the potato dollops...
TIP: The warmer the mashed potatoes, the easier the squeezing and the better the presentation. I actually made a second Shepherd's Pie to freeze, and the time between piping the two batches allowed my potatoes to cool significantly. I also noticed that the first pie was far more attractively piped, so next time I will microwave my potatoes if necessary.
Bake at 400* for 15-20 minutes, or until thoroughly warmed!
And let me say, this is delicious!!!
Recipe Recap: serves 4
1 pound of undrained ground beef
4-5 medium/large potatoes
1 package of mixed vegetables
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon of cornstarch
This recipe *may* be the perfect answer to what to do with your leftover potatoes after Thanksgiving...

I (and my husband and 2 yo) love this recipe - I submitted it to Macomb Money Savers last week! I also have used boxed potatoes - that i've gotten for free w/ coupons!
I also like to do it w/ ground turkey!
Thanks,
Lisa!
Think of me with every bite!!!
Ah ha!!! You are the Lisa! I *heart* you!!!

Wow, never thought about using a pastry bag & tip for potatoes - now I understand how companies can make such nice-looking potatoes.
Hi Laura and Happy Thanksgiving,
My family loves Shepherd Pie...in my efforts to be more health conscious I have started using sweet potatoes instead of mashed. It is quite wonderful though mine is never ever as lovely as yours!! Keep on "piping" ;-)
Pipe on!!!
