Mini Shepherd's Pie Recipe
This Mini Shepherd's Pie recipe turns a classic comfort food into individual, muffin-tin portions with flaky crust, savory meat filling and creamy mashed potatoes.
Ingredients
- ½ pound ground lamb or beef
- ½ cup finely diced white onion
- 4 teaspoons all-purpose flour plus additional for rolling out pie crust
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup frozen peas and carrots mix
- 2 refrigerated pie crusts
- 1 ½ cups prepared mashed potatoes
- ½ teaspoon ground paprika
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Place lamb and onion in medium high-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Cook 6 to 8 minutes or until meat is cooked through, stirring occasionally and breaking up meat with side of spoon. Spoon off and discard any excess fat.
- Stir in flour, tomato paste, salt and pepper; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Stir in broth, thyme and Worcestershire; heat to boiling over medium-high heat.
- Reduce to medium-low; simmer 5 minutes or until mixture is thickened, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; stir in peas and carrots.
- Soften pie crust according to package directions. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. On lightly floured work surface, roll each pie crust to 14 inches diameter. Using 4.5-inch round cutter (or small bowl), cut 6 rounds from each crust, re-rolling scraps to make the final ones, if necessary.
- Press each round into muffin cup. Transfer to oven and bake 10 to 11 minutes or until lightly browned.
- Divide lamb mixture between muffin cups (about 2 heaping tablespoons per cup).
- If necessary, microwave mashed potatoes 1 to 2 minutes or until warm and spreadable. Spread potatoes over lamb mixture. Sprinkle with paprika. Transfer to oven and bake 20 to 25 minutes or until potatoes are golden brown. Served garnished with parsley, if desired.
