Amy's Shepherd's Pie

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup butter or olive oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 lb peeled and sliced carrot (can do less if you like)
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 4 cups beef broth
• 1 cup tomato sauce
• 2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon oregano
• 1 1/2 lbs cooked ground turkey or ground beef or ground venison
• 4 cups mashed potatoes

Directions

1. 1

   Melt butter/ heat up oil in large stockpot or sauce pan (depending on how large a recipe you are making) and saute onions and carrots until tender.

2. 2

   Stir in flour and cook one minute.

3. 3

   Gradually add beef broth and bring to a boil stir constantly.

4. 4

   Add the rest of the ingredients, tomato sauce, worcestershire, oregano and ground meat.

5. 5

   Cover pan and reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes or so.

6. 6

   At this point it is ready to freeze in freezer bags after cooling if you like. I like to freeze my mashed potatoes in freezer bags and then thaw both overnight in fridge and then assemble.

7. 7

   I like to serve it to my family at this point with Perfect Mashed Potatoes on the side as that is how my kids like this.

8. 8

   However, you can also pour into a sprayed baking dish (8x8 if one recipe), top with Perfect Mashed Potatoes and bake at 400 for 20-30 minutes until heated through.
