Italian Shepherd’s Pie

March 23, 2016 By Shannah Coe 28 Comments

Shepherd’s pie is one of my favorite winter meals. There is something so comforting about the mix of beef, vegetables and a mashed potato topping. I’ve lightened it up before with a cauliflower carrot topping {a must try} but my most recent switch up came in the form of Italian Shepherd’s pie. Even though we are getting into spring now and I am loving all the delicious spring recipes, I still turn to some of my comfort food favorites on the cooler evenings.

Italian Shepherd's Pie Recipe

This Shepherd’s pie has delicious vegetables like carrots and onions mixed with the perfect blend of dried Italian spices. Garlic mashed potatoes make the perfect creamy topping. I usually double the recipe and freeze one for later. It makes the perfect weeknight meal in a pinch.

Ingredients for Italian Shepherd’s Pie:

1 lb ground beef
2 tsp oil
1 onion, diced
2 carrots, peeled and diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
1 28-oz can stewed tomatoes
2 tsp tomato paste
1/4 cup beef broth
1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
2 cups mashed potatoes
1 Tbsp garlic powder
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Let’s Make It:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly spray a large casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.

2. Brown ground beef over medium heat in a large skillet. Drain and add to casserole dish.

3. Heat oil over medium heat in skillet. Add onion, carrots and garlic cloves. Saute for 3-5 minutes. Stir in Italian seasoning and cook for one minute or until fragrant. Stir in stewed tomatoes, tomato paste and beef broth. Bring a boil and then reduce to simmer. Simmer for 5-10 minutes. Stir in mushrooms. Pour mixture over ground beef and stir to combine.

4. In a large bowl, combine mashed potatoes, garlic powder and Parmesan cheese. Spread over beef mixture.

5. Cover casserole dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes.

This is a dish my whole family loves. The cheese in the potatoes just adds the perfect little bit of extra flavor. My daughter adds some extra cheese on top of hers too.

    I’m all about some comfort food any time of year, but especially as we transition into spring and still have those chilly nights. Shepherd’s pie is a favorite around here and I’m loving this Italian version! Pinning!

    We don’t eat potatoes, so I substituted a mixture of boiled cauliflower and (drained and rinsed) navy beans (about fifty fifty) mashed together and then blended with an immersion blender until smooth. Added a little salt and pepper, and a touch of cream. Works as well as the potatoes and is delicious.
