Shepherds Dinner

 

Ok so sometimes we have a real shepherds dinner. With what the Shepherds would have really eaten, grapes, olives, pomegranates, fish and bread.

But I will be honest, my kids prefer our fake Shepherds dinner better, so we will have shepherds pie every Christmas Eve, and I do a Shepherds dinner sitting on the ground another night.

My Recipe for Shepherds Pie

 

1-1/2 lbs of cooked ground meat (we use ground beef )

1 Walla Walla onion chopped

1 cup beef broth (I use water and Beef Better than Bouillon)

3 tbls Worcestershire sauce

1 bag of frozen mixed veggies

5  medium potatoes

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt

3 eggs

 

Cook and crumble meat until browned.  Rinse all fat from meat. Return to pan and cook with chopped onions until soft. add beef broth and Worcestershire Sauce.  if you would like a thicker sauce you can add a tablespoon of flour.  After this has cooked mix in a bag of frozen veggies.

 

Meanwhile:

chop potatoes (I leave the skin on because that is where all the nutrients are).  once they are soft drain water and mash mix in Greek yogurt and three eggs.

 

Spread the meat mixture to cover the bottom of a 9x13 casserole dish,  cover with the mashed potatoes.  Bake at 350 until the potatoes start to become golden.

 

mmm enjoy!
