How to Make Ranch Shepherd's Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large skillet, brown 1 lb ground beef over medium-high heat. Add 1 cup chopped scallions, 1 chopped bell pepper, and 2 minced cloves of garlic. Cook until the beef is browned and the vegetables are tender-crisp (about 8-10 minutes).
  3. Drain off any excess grease.
  4. Stir in 1 ounce packet of Ranch seasoning mix until well combined.
  5. Pour the beef mixture into a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  6. Spread 1 (15 ounce) can of drained whole kernel corn evenly over the beef.
  7. Boil or steam 2 lbs peeled and cubed russet potatoes until tender. Drain well.
  8. In a large bowl, mash the potatoes with 1/4 cup butter and 1/2 cup heavy cream until smooth and creamy. Stir in the remaining 1 ounce packet of Ranch seasoning mix.
  9. Spread the mashed potato mixture evenly over the corn and beef.
  10. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh chives.
  11. Bake for 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and heated through.
  12. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
