How to Make Russian Shepherd S Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Boil potatoes: In a large saucepan, bring 4 cups of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until tender, about 12-15 minutes. Drain well.
  3. Make mashed potatoes: Return potatoes to the saucepan. Add milk, butter, half the salt, and half the pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy. Stir in 1/4 cup flour and 1 egg.
  4. Cook the beef: While potatoes cook, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off excess fat.
  5. Sauté vegetables: Add chopped onions, mushrooms, and caraway seeds to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are softened, about 8 minutes. Season with remaining salt and pepper. Stir in the remaining 1/4 cup of flour and cook for 5 minutes.
  6. Assemble the pie: Spread half of the mashed potato mixture in an 8x8 inch baking dish. Top with the beef mixture. Spread the remaining mashed potatoes over the beef.
  7. Finish and bake: Beat the remaining egg and brush it over the top of the mashed potatoes. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
  8. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and bubbly.
