Lean Shepherd's Pie

"I've tried several Shepherd Pie recipes but I keep coming back to this one. This is one of the few that calls for cream corn & worcestershire to add a different twist to the recipe. Adapted from 'Cooking for the Rushed' cookbook. The original recipe uses instant mashed potatoes but I prefer to use regular ones."

  1. Wife and I really enjoyed your dish tonight. Was simple and tasty. Did ratch it up a notch with some chopped onions and bell pepper. And, if one not adverse to calories, some sharp cheddar on top during last few minutes would be 'frosting on the cake'.
     
  2. Comfort food here! i wanted to make this lean shepherds pie leaner. So i sauteed 1 onion, 2 cups sliced, mushrooms, and used 1 pound turkey in place of the beef. Also added 1 teaspoon parsley and 1/2 teaspoon oregano to the beef mixture. Added 1/2 cup ketchup and 1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce. We need to keep the sodium down. No instant potatoes in my home only enjoy fresh made with low fat milk an olive oil in place of butter. Used more like 4-5 cups of potatoes. Sprayed the top with olive oil. Thanks!

  3. We really liked this. I do not make shepherd pies that often because of the picky eaters in this house that do not like peas or green beans or carrots mixed with their food but since this recipe did not have any of that, it worked out perfect.

<p>I enjoy to cook &amp; my DH enjoys to eat. Neither one of us have serious weight or physical issues but I strive to make my meals healthy. I try to stay away from 'low-fat' &amp; processed foods cause they are usually filled with other undesirable ingredients. I try to stick to natural foods &amp; I grow a garden including several herbs. <br />I make a point of reviewing all recipes I've tried &amp; appreciate the time others take to forward feedback on my recipes.</p>
