Easy Beef Shepard’s Pie

This savory beef and vegetable pie is baked in a pie crust and topped with creamy mashed potatoes.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 Frozen Pie Crust
  • 1 pound Ground Beef
  • 2 Teaspoons Garlic Powder
  • 2 Teaspoons Onion Powder
  • 1 Teaspoon Dried Thyme
  • 1 Teaspoon Dried Rosemary
  • Dash Worcestershire sauce
  • 6 ounces Tomato Paste
  • 2 cups Beef Broth or 2 Cups water mixed with 2 Cubes Beef Boullion
  • Creamy Mashed Red Potatoes
OPTIONAL
  • One Yellow Onion, diced
  • 3 Cloves Garlic, minced

Instructions

Start by pre-heating your oven and baking your pie crust according to package directions. When done, leave oven pre-heated to 350F.

While you are doing that, put a pot of salted water on the stove to boil so you can make your Creamy Mashed Red Potatoes.

Place a large skillet or cast iron pan on the stove over medium high heat. Add your ground beef, and break it apart using a spatula (if you are using fresh onion and garlic, add it here). Once the beef is broken apart and browned, season with salt and pepper and add your tomato paste. Stir together the tomato paste and ground beef. Once mixed together, add your beef broth one cup at a time, until desired thinness of gravy is achieved. I like mine fairly thick, and still used almost two cups. Season with garlic and onion powders, thyme, rosemary, worchestshire sauce, salt and pepper. Taste your seasonings and adjust as you see fit.

Spoon the filling into your pre-baked pie crust and top with mased potatoes. Spread the mashed potatoes completely over the top of the pie, touching the crust. Place your pie on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 15 minutes, until the potatoes are slightly browned on top.

Enjoy. I like to serve this with a salad!
