I'm sorry but you cannot make this dish properly with hamburger meat!. I don't know what these other people are thinking!. What they have described to you is the kind of Shepherd's Pie that you would expect to get at Denny's!.
The term "shepherd's pie" suggests sheep, correct!? That means you need to roast a leg of lamb first!.
1!. Wait until lamb goes on sale!.
2!. Buy a medium sized leg!. Don't pay extra for boneless!. Trust me!.
3!. Bone the leg by running your knife down along the whole length of the bone and then just carving it out of the leg!. It does not have to be pretty and it is actually good if you leave a fair amount of meat on the bone!.
4!. Tie up the boned leg, stick about 30 slivers of garlic into it with your paring knife, and roast on a rack according to the instructions in your everyday cookbook!. I do hope you know how to make a roast!. You need to cook it well enough to get a decent amount of gravy!.
5!. Remove the roast, tent it with foil, and let it cool for half an hour!. In the mean time take the pan drippings and try to get as much gravy as you can out of it!. Hopefully you know how to do this also!. For God's sake do not use canned gravy or any kind of store-bought gravy mixes!. You need only canned beef broth, water, flour, and a bit of salt (perhaps a little Maggi seasoning) to make terrific gravy!. At this point you can refrigerate the whole roast in a ziploc bag until the next day if you are managing your time that way!. But you must make the gravy the same day as you do the roast!. I seriously doubt you will be able to avoid the temptation to nibble on the delicious end-slices from the roast which will be crispy with tasty rendered lamb fat!.
6!. When you are ready to assemble the pie, first prepare a huge batch of mashed potatoes (probably 3 pounds of russet or yukon gold spuds)!.
7!. Put the gravy (2 to 3 cups) in the bottom of a well-greased 13x9 glass casserole dish or a medium hotel pan!.
8!. Slice the roast not too thinly, and make the pieces about 1 inch squares!. Place as much meat as you wish on top of the gravy!.
9!. Top the whole thing with the mashed potatoes!.
10!. Bake in a 325 oven until nice and bubbly and hot!.
11!. Take the meaty bone from when you boned the roast and convert it into proper scotch broth, for which you will need also a rutabaga, a parsnip, a few carrots, some celery, perhaps an extra beef bone or two from the butcher, an onion, and of course a half cup of pearl barley!. You can actually freeze the whole soup prior to cooking the vegetables right in a big ziploc bag, and then you take it out, thaw it, and simmer for 45 minutes for a quick meal!.
Now believe me, when you take this dish to a potluck dinner, if the guests are civilized people, the entire thing will be gone in ten minutes because nobody will be able to get enough!. They will be licking your hotel pan to get the last drop of gravy!.
A whole leg should give you two 13x9 pans worth or one full sized hotel pan, but then you should plan on at least 5 pounds of potatoes!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
