Shepherds Pie

January 31, 2013

Another one of my favorite go-to comfort foods. We had this quite a bit while I was growing up. Mom’s was pretty bland so I've tweaked it over the years. The orange potatoes were a pretty common thing in my house as my Mom always mashed carrots with our mashed potatoes. I’m not sure if that was her way of getting us to eat the carrots or to stretch the potatoes.

6-8 large potatoes peeled, cubed*
1 pound ground beef
1/2 medium onion chopped
1+1/2 cloves garlic minced
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup carrots cooked, pureed
1 cup corn thaw if frozen
1 cup peas thaw if frozen
1/2 cup colby jack cheese shredded

Preheat oven to 350F. In a large pot of water, boil potatoes until fork tender. In large skillet add ground beef, onion and garlic. Brown until beef is no longer pink and onion is translucent. Drain...
