Beef Shepherd's Pie
Description
This classic Beef Shepherd's Pie starts with mashed potatoes made from russet potatoes boiled until tender, then mixed with heavy cream, salt, egg yolk, and melted butter to create a creamy and rich topping. The filling consists of ground beef cooked with diced onions until browned, thickened with flour, and combined with beef broth and frozen mixed vegetables including peas, carrots, corn, and green beans.
The mixture is assembled by spreading the beef and vegetable filling into a baking dish, topping with the mashed potatoes, brushing with melted butter, and baking until the top turns golden brown. The contrast between the smooth, buttery potato layer and the savory beef-vegetable filling delivers a balanced texture and flavor.
This dish serves as a satisfying main course, especially suited to cooler weather, and can be paired with simple sides or salads for a complete meal.
