Shepards Pie

I'm a meat and potatoes kind of girl, so what's better than a dish full of meat, veggies and potatoes?!  We make shepards pie occasionally, so I decided to take pics this time...now I'm kind of wanting one right now :)

Dice up some onions and carrots.

Slice up some mushrooms.

Brown up some ground beef.

When the beef is browned add the onions and carrots.

When the onions have become translucent, add the mushrooms.

While the mushrooms cook, make a roux in a separate small pan by melting some butter and whisking in some flour.

When thickened, it should look like this.

Add some beef stock to the roux.

Next, add the beef stock mixture to the pot and add some frozen peas.  I love peas.

Let the beef and veggie mixture thicken up a bit and then add to a baking pan.

Of course while all of the beef was cooking, we made some mashed potatoes.  Add the potatoes to the top of the beef and veggies.

We drank some of this wine with the pie.  It was a cute tiny winery we visited on our honeymoon!

Put the pie in the oven and cook until bubbly and brown.  YUUUUUMMM!
