Adi S Shepherd S Pie Recipe

This Shepherd's Pie recipe holds a special place in my heart! Created when I was just 13 for my brother, Adi (hence the name!), it's been a family favorite ever since. Unlike some recipes, I use frozen corn to keep everything wonderfully moist and tender. Get ready for a comforting classic with a heartwarming story – perfect for a family dinner or a cozy night in! My eyeballed measurements are included, but feel free to adjust to your liking.

How to Make Adi S Shepherd S Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Finely chop 1 large onion. In a large skillet, sauté the onion in 2 tablespoons of oil until softened (about 5 minutes). Set aside.
  3. Boil or steam 2 lbs potatoes until tender. Mash with 1/4 cup of butter, salt and pepper to taste.
  4. In a large bowl, combine 1.5 lbs ground beef, 1 large egg, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon onion powder. Mix well.
  5. Press the beef mixture into a 9x13 inch casserole dish.
  6. Spread 1 (15 ounce) package of frozen corn over the beef.
  7. Spread the mashed potatoes evenly over the corn. Gently pat down and crimp the edges.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  9. During the last 5-10 minutes of baking, brush the top of the potatoes with 1 teaspoon of oil for extra browning. If desired, broil for 1-2 minutes to achieve a deeper golden brown color. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
