Organic Irish Shepherd’s Pie Potato Bowl.

Shepherd’s Pie is a classic dish that has been enjoyed by families for generations. Firstly, the traditional recipe consists of a layer of meat and vegetables topped with mashed potatoes, and baked until golden brown. However, for this recipe, we’re going to put a new twist on the classic. Specifically, we will make it an Irish Shepherd Pie Potato Bowl, using all organic ingredients, which certainly is a winner choice.

Organic Ingredients:

For the Filling:

• 1 lb. Organic Chuck Steak
• 1 Onion
• 2 Diced Carrots
• 2 Cloves Garlic-Peeled and Diced 
• 1 tbsp. Minced Organic Tomato Paste
• 1 tbsp. Organic Worcestershire Sauce
• 1 tsp. Organic Dried Thyme
• 1 cup Organic Beef Broth
• Salt and Pepper to taste

For the Mashed Potatoes:

• 2 lbs. Organic Dutch Cream Potatoes, peeled and diced
• 4 tbsp. Organic Unsalted Butter
• 1/2 cup Organic Milk
• Salt and Pepper to taste

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 375°F. Start by making the filling. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until browned, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, sauté the onion and carrot until they are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Add the tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and thyme to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for another minute. Add the cooked beef back to the skillet and stir to combine. Add the beef broth and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for about 10 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced by half. Season with salt and pepper to taste. While the filling is cooking, make the mashed potatoes. Boil the potatoes in a large pot of salted water until they are fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain the water and add the butter and milk to the pot. Mash the potatoes with a potato masher until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

To assemble the Irish Shepherd Pie Potato Bowls, divide the filling between four oven-safe bowls. Top each bowl with a generous scoop of mashed potatoes. Bake the bowls in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Let them cool for a few minutes before serving.

This Irish Shepherd Pie Potato Bowl is a hearty and satisfying meal that is perfect for a cozy dinner at home.
