How to Make Easy Shepherd's Pie
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Peel and dice 2 lbs potatoes. Boil in salted water until tender (about 15 minutes).
- In a large skillet, brown 1 lb ground beef, 1 medium onion (chopped), and 2 cloves garlic (minced) over medium-high heat.
- Drain excess grease.
- Add 1 cup chopped carrots, 1 tsp salt, and ½ tsp black pepper. Cook for 5 minutes.
- In a small saucepan, melt 2 tbsp butter. Whisk in 2 tbsp all-purpose flour to create a roux.
- Gradually whisk in 1 ½ cups beef broth until thickened.
- Pour the gravy over the beef mixture and stir to combine.
- Transfer the beef mixture to a greased 9x13 inch casserole dish.
- Once potatoes are tender, drain and mash with 4 tbsp butter, ½ cup sour cream, ¼ cup milk, ½ tsp salt, and ¼ tsp black pepper.
- Spread mashed potatoes evenly over the beef mixture. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and heated through.
