Shepherds Pie

-


Shepherds pie
7 Potatoes
minced meat (I use turkey minced meat, it is way healthier and to me tastes better)
diced garlic,onions and pepper
1/4 cup milk
2tbsp butter
salt, pepper, lawry's

Peel and cut your potatoes into big chunks. Boil it in water for about 15 - 20 minutes until it is soft. Mash it like mashed potatoes and put a little bit of butter and milk just to make it creamy, put some salt and pepper. Set it aside.

In a separate pot put some oil and add your garlic, peppers and onions. If you like this add a lot but if you don't like it as much add it still for flavor but put a little. Sautee it for a few minutes until it gets golden then add in your minced meat and cook it for about 15 minutes until it is well browned and fully cooked. While cooking add in your seasonings. A little, salt, pepper, lawrys is what I used. (be careful to not over season) set it aside.

Grab a pyrex and put half of your mashed potato on the bottom half of the pyrex then put a layer of your minced meat in the middle , Put the other half of your potato on top and finish off with a little bit of your minced meat on the very top. If you choose you can sprinkle a little bit of cheese on top for extra flavor and looks.

Your done. Eat and enjoy.

God Bless

    hi! This sounds really good but I have a question...

    So once you put it in the pyrex you serve it right away? with no further cooking?

    thanks, God bless :)

    Hi Alicia, how are you? Yes, normally I do not put it back into the oven. But if you choose to add a little cheese. If you want to, you can put it in for just about 5 minutes. Just in order for the cheese to melt.

    Hi Alicia, veggies are really important you should try to find a way to add into the food if they dont want to eat it alone. Try to mix a little at a time into the minced meat or whatever dish you are cooking. But there are many sides that can be made if you look at my blog post titled your side dish (search for it on the search bar) but I will make sure to add more sides to my blogs for you to see.

Mommy Grandma Here is my beautiful mother and my grandmother both of whom I love dearly. Oh, yes. And look at my darling twin sister. My mirror, my look alike. which one am I? Do you know? Well my mom and grandma were  both born in Furna - Brava, Cape Verde also known for its portuguese name as CaboVerde. A portuguese speaking Island off of the coast of West Africa. Me in CapeVerde In CapeVerde just like in any other Country there are many traditional dishes such as 2 of the main ones. Cuscus - a breakfast bread and Cachupa- a heavy soup for lunch. These are 2 of my favorite Capeverdian foods along with others such as funginho, gigacida, and the list goes on. Cuscus is a breakfast food. For those of you who don't know what it is, its similar to a corn muffin or a corn type of bread. It is made fresh and eaten whilst hot off of the stove spread with loads of butter to melt nicely on top. I love eating this with my favorite rasberry tea. Some of you might hate i

Do you get a white ooze when cooking Salmon?

Does your salmon often look like this when you cook it? Tried baking, frying, poaching it but this stuff keeps coming out? Quick tip: when cooking salmon it is common for a white sort of cream to come oozing out all around the fish. Though it does not affect the taste. It can be found to be annoying and not pretty. But I found the trick to solving this problem, it happens because salmon is an oily fish, there are many oils within the fish itself. When cooking all of these oils come out in the form of this white ooze, normally from my own experience, when this happens the fish tends to become dry. Because now all of that moisture and oils meant to keep the fish succulent and juicy was just taken out. I found a solution to this problem. To keep all the oils locked in, you need to dry out the surface of the fish.  Before seasoning drizzle a little bit of vinegar on the fish and rub it in well. Continue your seasoning process. You will see that your problem will be resolved. F
