Foolproof Savory Shepherd's Pie

Instructions

1
|
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
2
|
Spray a 9-inch pie plate with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
3
|
Peel the potatoes and dice into 1/2-inch cubes.
4
|
Place the potatoes in a large pot filled with cold water. Set the pot over high heat and bring to a boil. Boil the potatoes until they can be easily pierced with a fork, 15-18 minutes.
5
|
Once tender, drain the potatoes in a large colander and return them to the pot. Add the butter, sour cream, salt, and black pepper. Mash the potatoes until smooth. Add milk and stir gently to combine.
6
|
Thinly slice the mushrooms.
7
|
Finely dice the onion.
8
|
Finely dice the carrot
9
|
Finely dice the celery.
10
|
In an extra-large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add mushrooms and salt. Sauté, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms have released their juices and are nicely browned, 5-6 minutes.
11
|
Transfer the mushrooms to a bowl and set aside.
12
|
Add the olive oil to the pan. When oil shimmers, add the onions, carrots, and celery. Sauté over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until they are soft and translucent, 7-8 minutes.
13
|
Add the lean ground beef, thyme, nutmeg, salt and black pepper to the skillet. Sauté over medium-high heat, breaking beef up as it cooks, until browned and cooked through, 7-8 minutes.
14
|
Return mushrooms to skillet. Add the Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, corn, and peas to the pan. Stir until the corn and peas are thawed, about 2 minutes.
15
|
Reduce the heat to medium. Sprinkle the flour over the beef mixture. Cook, stirring constantly to incorporate and toast the flour, about 1 minute.
16
|
Slowly stream the beef broth into the pan. Cook, stirring frequently, until broth begins to bubble and thicken, about 2 minutes.
17
|
Remove the skillet from the heat. Transfer the beef mixture to the prepared pie plate and smooth into an even layer.
18
|
Spoon the potatoes over the beef mixture, spreading them all the way to the edge. Use the back of the spoon to make small peaks in the potatoes.
19
|
Place the pie plate on a large baking sheet. Bake the pie on middle rack of oven until potatoes are lightly golden and the edges are bubbling, 15-17 minutes.
20
|
Check to see that pie is done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.
21
|
Allow to rest for 7-10 minutes before serving. Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days.
