I love to cook. And when I do cook, I want to make food "seasoned with love" to share with my family and friends. This also means that I like to try new recipes just for fun. Tonights experiment was this braised beef Shepards pie tonight (link attached). OH. MY . WORD. The cubes of beef literally melted in my mouth, and the gravy? Was perfect with the mashed potatoes on top. I couldn't have asked for better success on a new recipe!
This was very easy and simmered on the stove for 3 ish hours to reduce the gravy where it was then topped with mashed potatoes and put into the oven to melt the cheese. Very simple ingredients but it was a hug built into a bite of food, just my style. 😊
Suggestion: the recipe calls for chuck roast. You could follow the recipe, but when I make this again, i would use a more lean roast. This evening I used face rump roast (a very lean roast) and it was the perfect application for this recipe. Give this recipe a try if you are looking for something new, inexpensive and a hug that sits in a bite of food.
Braised Beef Shepherd's Pie takes beef stew to a whole new level by topping it with cheesy mashed potatoes. This is 100% comfort food.
