Shepherd’s Pie Twice-Baked Potatoes Recipe

Prep: 1-3/4 hours Bake: 25 min.

Yield: 6 Servings

105 25 130

Ingredients

6 large russet potatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium green pepper, chopped
1 medium sweet red pepper, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 package (16 ounces) frozen mixed vegetables
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon steak seasoning
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
Dash cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons paprika, divided
1/2 cup butter, cubed
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup sour cream
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons minced chives
TOPPINGS:
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon minced chives

Directions

Scrub and pierce potatoes; rub with oil. Bake at 375° for 1 hour or until tender.
In a large skillet, cook the beef, onion, peppers and garlic over medium heat until beef is no longer pink; drain. Add the mixed vegetables, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, steak seasoning, salt, pepper, cayenne and 1 teaspoon paprika. Cook and stir until vegetables are tender.
When cool enough to handle, cut a thin slice off the top of each potato and discard. Scoop out the pulp, leaving thin shells.
In a large bowl, mash the pulp with butter. Add the whipping cream, sour cream, cheeses and chives. Mash potatoes until combined. Spoon 1 cup meat mixture into each potato shell; top with 1/2 cup potato mixture. Sprinkle with remaining paprika.
Place on a baking sheet. Bake at 375° for 20 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese; bake 5 minutes longer or until melted. Sprinkle with chives. Yield: 6 servings.

It was very good. I put my own little twist in the meat, just my own spices that I like and it was very good.

I just read this recipe and realized that I have ground lamb in the freezer (from a local organic producer) and can't wait to try this! I may use lighter versions of some ingredients and fresh veggies instead of frozen, but his sounds delish! And again, it is the main meal, not a side dish.

Reviewed on Mar. 10, 2012 by vieux

I believe that what some of the naysayers commenting haven't realized is that this dish is served as a main course served with a side Ie a salad. It is not a side in itself.

" A heart attack waiting to happen". So is life; get over it and get on with it. For those that want someone to lighten it up, don't be so lazy and do that yourselves. Do you think the government should do it for you or do I smell a lawsuit coming?

Excellent as it stands but I will use ground lamb next time as suggested by another reviewer. (not arguing the difference between shepherd's and cottage pie - I just like the flavour of lamb better)

I couldn't agree more with Chef_Dad! Too many people willing to make negative comments! TOH doesn't have to cater only to low fat eaters, or diabetics, or carb counters (etc.) Make adjustments to the recipe as you see fit and stop complaining! By the way, I think the recipe sounds delicious - and dianeivie: until you can spell "potato" correctly you have bigger worries than a calorie count.

Reviewed on Mar. 09, 2012 by Chef_Dad

Would you people give it up already with the comments about the nutrition of the recipe. If you think it's not healthy then DON'T MAKE IT! Stop "reviewing" a recipe you're never going to try.

Looking at the calorie count I would NOT make this recipe. Smarten it up and I'll try it.

I was really excited when I saw this was a recipe for Shepherd's Pie. Unfortunately, it turned out to be COTTAGE pie. Shepherd's pie is made with lamb (thus the name) while cottage pie is made with ground beef. Still tasty. Maybe I'll try it with ground lamb next time.
