Coupon Funded Menu Corner: Shepherd’s Pie

During my freezer cooking marathon, I started defrosting two packages of ground beef that I put to use in a Shepherd’s Pie:

Shepherd's Pie & homemade bread

This is a family recipe with no precise measurements, but here’s the gist of it:

I put the ground beef into a pan with a bit of olive oil and about 2/3 of an onion, chopped. I cooked it until brown, and then added one stock cube dissolved in two cups boiling water. I left it to cook a few more minutes, then turned off the heat and put it into a baking dish. Next, I parboiled two or three sliced carrots and layered them on top of the meat. Then I boiled some potatoes and used a handmixer to mash them with butter and milk, and spread the mashed potatoes over the meat and carrots. I then cooked this at 350 degrees for about 35 minutes. This was served with slices of homemade bread and butter – a must-have with Shepherd’s Pie!

We took this over to a friend’s house for dinner, and everyone enjoyed it. This served 4 people, and there was a fair bit left over. We left some with our friends, and had also had leftovers for dinner the next night.

    I was just ѕearching for this infο for а while.
    After 6 hours of continuouѕ Googleing,
    finally I got іt in your site. I wοnder whаt’s the lack of Google strategy that do not rank this kind of informative websites in top of the list. Generally the top websites are full of garbage.
