Ina Garten’s Shepherd’s Pie

A warm and filling Shepherd’s Pie with a savory beef filling topped with creamy mashed potatoes and turnips.

  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup full-fat milk
  • 2 tablespoons freshly chopped chives
  • 2 medium russet potatoes, peeled and cut into quarters
  • 2 medium turnips, peeled and cut into quarters
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 pounds ground beef chuck
  • 4 slices of thick-cut applewood-smoked bacon, diced
  • 2 small yellow onions, finely chopped
  • 2 medium carrots, finely diced
  • 2 stalks celery, finely diced
  • 4 ounces cremini mushrooms, finely chopped
  • 2 teaspoons freshly chopped thyme
  • 3 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 3/4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the peeled potatoes and turnips. Boil until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain the water and return to the pot.
  2. Mix in the butter and milk. Use a potato masher to create a smooth mixture. Season with sea salt and black pepper, then fold in chives and grated Parmesan.
  3. In a skillet, cook diced bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon and set aside, leaving drippings in the skillet.
  4. Add onions, carrots, and celery to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up. Stir in mushrooms and thyme.
  6. Add tomato paste, flour, chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce, and season with salt and pepper. Simmer for about 5 minutes until thickened. Fold in bacon, Dijon, and smoked paprika.
  7. Pour the filling into a baking dish. Spread the creamy potato and turnip mixture over the top.
  8. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake for 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown.

Notes

For a crispy top, run under the broiler for 1-2 minutes at the end, watching closely.
