Slow Cooker Hybrid Shepherd’s Pie
Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Slice the onion into slim slivers and layer on the bottom of the slow cooker. Crush the garlic and place them whole on top of the onions. Add the stew beef, steak seasoning, garlic powder and salt and pepper. In a measuring cup add the cornstarch to the beef broth and whisk to combine. Pour over the meat, onions and garlic.
  2. Set the slow cooker timer to high, 6-8 hours depending on your needs, cover and let the magic begin! As the meat starts to cook and settle into the juices all of the flavor from the seasonings, onion and garlic seeps into the meat and you are on your way to Flavor Town!
  3. When the meat is done and still absorbing all of those delicious flavors make your Mashed Potatoes. In a pan, add 3 lbs of red potatoes, cut into chunks for quicker cooking. Cover with enough cold water to just cover the potatoes, add some salt for flavoring and bring to a boil. Boil for 30-35 minutes, drain. I add milk, butter, sour cream and cheddar cheese to mine. Add whatever you like to yours. Use a potato masher or hand mixer to obtain your desired smoothness or chunkiness. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Add the corn to the slow cooker and mix with the meat mixture. Let the corn cook in the mixture for about 5-10 minutes.
  5. Layer the bottom of an oven safe baking dish with the meat and vegetable mixture. Add your mashed potatoes on top spreading evenly. Add the cheese on top of the potatoes evenly and heat through for 30 minutes.
  6. Optional-if you want a toastier cheese crust, remove the baking dish from the oven and turn the heat off. Turn the broiler on high and place the dish back in the oven, watching carefully, until you have reached your desired cheesiness. Remove from the oven, let the dish sit for 5 minutes. Serve and Enjoy!
