Shepherd's Pie Recipe
This is a tasty shepherd's pie made with ground beef, mashed potatoes, and seasonings. Scroll down for more Shepherd's Pie Recipes, including several using leftover beef.

* 1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
* 2 tablespoon butter
* 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
* 2 eggs, separated
* 6 tablespoons butter
* 8 potatoes, peeled, boiled, and mashed
* 1 cup finely chopped onion
* 1 tablespoon ketchup
* beef broth
* 1/2 cup heavy cream
* 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
* Parmesan cheese






Brown ground beef and sauté onions in 2 tablespoons butter until golden. Mix ground beef with onions, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Add a few tablespoons of beef broth and cook, covered, over low heat for 15 to 20 minutes, adding more beef broth as necessary to keep moist. Beat egg yolks until light, then in another bowl, beat whites until stiff. Beat the yolks, cream, 6 tablespoons butter, and garlic powder into hot mashed potatoes. Gently fold in beaten egg whites. Put meat mixture into a casserole then top with potato mixture. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and bake at 350° until potato topping is puffed and browned, about 25 to 35 minutes.

LOL, I was just going to suggest shepherd's pie, I made one last night. Nasty rainy weather makes me want food like that. I made mine pretty much the same, but with a layer of vegetables (peas onions & carrots) between the meat and potatoes and english cheddar instead of Parmesan on top. Washed it down with a couple Smithwicks!

Wait! It's getting colder, how about Chili? And let them do the "fixings" like:
several different cheeses,
on spagetti,
on a baked potato
sour cream,
etc.
