Parsnip Topped Shepherd's Pie Recipe
Directions
  • In a dutch oven, cook the roast in 2 cups of beef broth with the vegetables for 2 hours on medium low heat. You can also use a slow cooker for this and cook on low for 4-6 hours. Skip this step if you are using leftovers from a previous meal.
  • Cut beef into bite sized pieces.
  • Place the beef in a baking dish along with the vegetables and the remaining 2 cups of beef broth.
  • Meanwhile, boil potatoes and parsnips 12-15 minutes just until tender.
  • Drain the water off and put back on the burner with the heat turned off, just to allow them to dry out for one minutes.
  • Add butter, heavy whipping cream and 1/2 cup of cheese.
  • Mash until smooth and season with salt and pepper.
  • Spread the potatoes and parsnips over the beef filling in the baking dish.
  • Place in a 375°F oven for 15 minutes, top with the rest of the cheese and return to the oven for an additional 15 minutes or until bubbly and the top is browned.
  • Serve warm.
