Difficulty: Easy

Prep time: 30 minutes

Cook time: 1 hour

Servings: 6

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 small chopped onion
  • 1 1/2 lbs ground beef
  • 1 (16oz) can tomato sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups cooked peas, diced carrots and corn mixed vegetables or niblet corn
  • 5 peeled and quartered russet potatoes
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 (12oz) box cornbread mix

Directions

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, saute the onion in vegetable oil. When the onion is soft add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon and brown. Stir in tomato sauce and mixed vegetables. Season with salt and pepper.

In a pot of boiling, salted water, cook the potatoes about 20 minutes or until fork tender. Drain well and return to the pot. Whip the potatoes with an electric mixer until moderately smooth. Add milk, butter and sour cream and mix well. Season with salt and pepper. Adjust consistency with more milk, if desired.

Follow directions on box to make cornbread batter.

Preheat oven to 350 °F.

Lightly grease 6 (8-ounce) ramekins with nonstick cooking spray.

Spoon the mashed potatoes into the bottoms of each prepared ramekin, spreading them evenly with a rubber spatula. Then add the meat filling, spreading that evenly over the mashed potatoes. Pour the cornbread batter evenly over the meat layer in each ramekin.

Bake for about 30 minutes until the cornbread is cooked through and golden on top.

Dear Paula, Not to be mean but I wanted you to know the following information. I lived over in England for over 10 years, and over there Shepard's Pie is made with lamb. Cottage Pie is the name given to a meat and potato pie made with beef. FYI Thanks for the awesome recipes, I love you!
