Moving to Maine meant a whole new world of recipes; think seafood, apples, blueberries, maple syrup etc. I couldn’t wait to dig in! Moving in with my husband meant learning new family recipes and New England traditions. I had heard of Shepherd’s Pie since I have an Irish background but had never had it. Once my husband shared the recipe with me I had decided it wasn’t all that spectacular. But, since it’s one of Alan’s favorites I make it. I can honestly say I haven’t tried a bite of it, I guess it brings me back to childhood and the need for a plate with dividers It’s a standard here in Maine though, some interchange the vegetable or add a gravy to it but the idea is just the same.
Shepherd’s Pie
- 1 lb. ground beef
- frozen corn (or a can of creamed corn to give it some moisture)
- mashed potatoes – I usually use about 5 large Yukon golds(however you like to make them)
Pre-heat oven to 350. Brown the ground beef, adding salt and pepper to taste. Place into a casserole dish and layer some corn on top. Top with mashed potatoes. Now, you can get fancy and use a pastry bag and dollop the potatoes onto the surface. This makes for a nice presentation and will give you more opportunity for a little browning of the peaks of potatoes but I just slather it on there since I make it for hubby and he likes it this way best.
Bake for about 45 minutes, or until potatoes are a light golden brown.
