Directions

  1. Place cubed potatoes and garlic in a large pot with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes.

  2. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  3. Brown ground beef over medium heat in a skillet. Stir in flour, mixing with beef drippings.

  4. Add beef broth, ketchup and vegetables. Stir to combine. Cook for 5 minutes, until thick.

  5. Transfer beef mixture into an oven-proof casserole dish.

  6. Drain potatoes and smash them a little bit before adding 1/4 cup of grated cheese and sour cream. Mash together until smooth.

  7. Spoon potatoes onto the middle of the meat mixture. With a fork, spread potatoes from the center to the edges to form the top layer.

  8. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup of grated cheese.

  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until cheese is melted and golden. Let cool 15 minutes before serving.

Recipe Note

Shepherd's Pie recipes are traditionally done with lamb, but are great with any ground meat--turkey and beef being the most popular modern versions. Give this great casserole a try, and watch everyone flock to the table.
