Baked Meatloaf Shepherd's Pie image

After doing a search, I couldn't find a decent Shepherd's Pie recipe... I did find recipes for meatloaf and mashed potato bake, however. And thus, Baked Meatloaf Shepherd Pie was birthed. This recipe is an adaptation of two highly rated recipes, Meatloaf #54257 and Mashed Potato Bake #41344. It is comfort food and a great dish to bring to someone who needs a meal, as it doubles easily, and freezes well. Enjoy!

Time 2h

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 lb lean ground beef
1/2 slice bread, finely chopped
1 whole egg
1/2 small sweet onion, finely chopped (such as Vidalia)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons ketchup
1/4-1/3 cup half-and-half cream
1 sweet onion, sliced in rings (such as Vidalia)
4 butter potatoes, cubed
1/3 cup half-and-half cream or 1/3 cup milk
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1 (8 ounce) box frozen peas, thawed and drained
1 (8 ounce) box frozen carrots, thawed and drained

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Prepare meatloaf: Combine first eight ingredients in a large bowl.
  • Smooth into a loaf baking dish.
  • Bake uncovered for 1 hour.
  • While meatloaf is baking, prepare potatoes: Boil potatoes until tender, drain water.
  • Mash potatoes with fork, stirring in 1/3 cup of half & half.
  • In skillet melt margarine and brown slices of onions.
  • Put on lid and cook, stirring occasionally, making sure all of the onions get brown (usually about 10 minutes).
  • Mix potatoes and onions in a medium-size bowl.
  • Place mixture in 2-qt baking dish and top with cheese.
  • Bake at 350 for 20 minutes.
  • When meatloaf and potatoes are done, remove from oven.
  • Assemble shepherd's pie: Drain the meatloaf of grease and spoon into a 3-qt casserole dish (The meatloaf will break apart as you spoon it out.) Mash the meatloaf down into a flat layer.
  • Mix peas and carrots together and add them on top of the beef.
  • Spoon mashed potato mixture on top of the vegetables. The potatoes should form the top layer, so be careful not to mix the vegetables with the potatoes.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
