Method

Filling Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Beef

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the ground beef, cooking until browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.

  2. 2

    Combine Filling Ingredients

    Stir in the cream corn, salt, and black pepper into the cooked beef mixture. Mix well and let it simmer on low heat while you prepare the mashed potatoes.

Mashed Potatoes Preparation

  1. 3

    Boil the Potatoes

    In a large pot, add the peeled and diced potatoes. Cover them with water and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 4

    Mash the Potatoes

    Once the potatoes are tender, drain them and return to the pot. Add butter, milk, salt, and black pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.

Assembly and Baking

  1. 5

    Layer the Filling and Potatoes

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a baking dish, spread the beef and cream corn mixture evenly. Top with a layer of mashed potatoes, spreading them out to cover the filling completely.

  2. 6

    Add Cheese

    Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the mashed potatoes.

  3. 7

    Bake the Shepherd's Pie

    Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the top is lightly golden.

Serving

  1. 8
