How to Make Not Your Mama's Shepard Pie
- Cook bacon lardons in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove and set aside, reserving bacon grease.
- Brown the ground beef in the reserved bacon grease until almost cooked through. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, until the beef is fully cooked and the onion is softened.
- Remove the ground beef and onion mixture with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Set aside.
- Prepare frozen corn and spinach according to package directions. Once cooked, squeeze out excess liquid from the spinach.
- Add the spinach and corn to the skillet. Sauté for about 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and reserved bacon. Cook for another 2 minutes.
- Stir in the Alfredo sauce and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a greased 9x13 inch casserole dish, layer the ground beef and onion mixture, pressing down to compact it.
- Pour the spinach and Alfredo mixture evenly over the ground beef layer.
- Spread the mashed potatoes over the spinach mixture in an even layer.
- Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the top.
- Bake for 45 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
