The pictures aren't pretty because I forgot to take picture when it came out of the oven. This is the shepherds pie warmed up the next day for dinner.
A couple weeks ago I read a recipe that used sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes for the topping on shepherds pie. I was very intrigued and last night it sounded delicious. It was great because I could make dinner work with what I had. I only needed to get some sweet potatoes which my friend gave me. Ch-ching. Now I wish I had a recipe, but I just don't usually cook that way. I will give you approximates and all the ingredients I used.
Hope you try this, because it was so good!
I only had a half pound of ground beef, so my recipe only made enough for a 9x9 baking dish. I also didn't have any fresh carrots or celery on hand that would have been great sauteed with the onions and garlic.
1-2 T of olive oil
half of an onion chopped
2 cloves of garlic chopped
.5lb of ground beef
2 T of tomato paste
1 t of red wine vinegar
1 t of worcestershire sauce
A good amount of mixed frozen vegetables
1/2 t of coriander
1/2 t of smoked paprika
1/4 t of cumin
salt and pepper to taste.
Preheat oven to 350
-heat you oil and add onions and garlic. cook until softened.
-add your ground beef and brown.
-add seasonings and stir
-add the tomato paste, worcestershire sauce, and red wine vinegar. Mix it together
-add your frozen vegetables and a little bit of water to help it all come together and allow the veggies to cook through
- Season with salt and pepper and add to your baking dish.
Sweet potato topping
2 sweet potatoes
2 T of butter
1/4-1/3 cup of goats milk feta
1/2 t of garlic salt
pepper
milk
-peel and dice sweet potatoes
-place in a pot and boil until soften
-drain and let sit a couple minutes
-add butter, cheese, and seasoning
-mash and add milk until happy with consistency.
Place on top of ground beef mixture and baked uncovered for 25-30 minutes. I knew it was ready when it was bubbling on the sides.
Hope you enjoy my little creation.
