| The Sloppy Shepherd |
I just cooked up my favorite Sloppy Joe recipe. Then I made basic mashed potatoes using 6 potatoes, butter, milk and salt to taste. I spread the cooked Sloppy Joe mixture into a greased 7 1/2" x 11" casserole dish. Pressing the mixture down firmly. Then I spread the mashed potatoes on top and baked it at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. I then placed it under the broiler for 3 minutes to brown the top. This serves 6.
Here is the Sloppy Joe Recipe...
INGREDIENTS:
2 pounds 93% lean ground beef

ReplyDeleteHi Helen! Thanks...this was very good! Family approved! =)
DeleteGreat idea Lillian! I could eat mashed potatoes on anything :) I know this would go over very well in my house.
ReplyDeleteThanks Valerie! Let me know how your family liked it if you make it! =)
DeleteHave you tried this with mashed cauliflower? My sister used to do that years ago when she was on weight watchers and they loved it. But due now to her GRD, she can't eat cauliflower anymore LOL
ReplyDeleteThats sounds really good...I love cauliflower, but I know my kids would never eat it! Unless maybe I loaded up the mashed cauliflower with cheddar cheese!
DeleteWow! This looks great! how comforting it must be!
ReplyDeleteThank Kelli...yes, this was a very hearty meal! =)
DeleteWhat great idea, Lillian! This is definitely a dish the hubs would LOVE! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThank you Marion! I hope you'll try it! =)
DeleteLoved this sloppy shepherd recipe. The yellow mustard, beef and the Worcestershire sauce combo sounds amazing!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Purabi! This is my 'go to' Sloppy Joe recipe! The only one I ever use! Thank you so much for checking it out! =)
DeleteA whole lot of cooking going on. What does all the cooking achieve. I can make this and heat in microwave for a few minutes.
ReplyDeletelol...???
DeleteOMG! Something more I can use to stretch our food budget and it sounds and looks very good.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Jackie! I hope you'll try it! =)
DeleteI am going to make this today.And if your kids don't like cauliflower and you still want to use it, you could use half cauliflower and half mashed potatoes. Has more nutrition in it and they won't notice it. I've tried it with my family and they didn't notice. Specially if you make garlic potatoes.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jennifer...I love that idea! Very sneaky and very smart! Yes, the garlic with the cauliflower and potatoes should hide the cauliflower taste! I should do that with the
Delete'Cauliflower Tater Tots' recipe I posted on my blog!
I'm so glad your going to try this! Please let me know how it turned out for you! =)
In England where I live, Shepherd's pie is as basic as can be. Your invention happens to be exactly what it is - mince (ground beef) + any handy veggies + mashed potato topping. Carrots and onions are the usual veg, but nobody says you can't add all your other favourites instead. That's the idea, to use up whatever you want and need to use up.
ReplyDeleteThat's probably how the recipe started by making due with what you have. I think that's how most great recipes start. I just put my own spin on it by using the same spices that are in Sloppy Joe recipes. Thank you so much for checking it out and commenting! That is always very appreciated! =D
DeleteI love Shepherd's pie, so when I make taco's I always fix enough meat to use the leftover meat in a Shepherd's pie. I'll sometimes add a little salsa to keep it from being too dry. I'm kinda like Valerie, mashed potatoes are good on anything.
ReplyDeleteI love your idea for a Shepherd's pie! Sounds like a Mexican version! Thank you for checking out my recipe! =D
