Corned Beef Shepherd’s Pie

Published on March 19, 2014 By Emily. Updated on August 8, 2020

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

As Saint Patrick’s Day approached, I asked Brian if he wanted me to pick up a corned beef for the occasion.  It wasn’t so much of a question as a formality; I wanted corned beef and the chances of my not buying one were slim.  As I mentioned on Sunday, I am a huge fan of corned beef.  Luckily, Brian said yes.  But he’s not as big on corned beef as I am and he requested that I do something different with it this time – what about corned beef shepherd’s pie?

It was sort of a silly request: I think I may have made shepherd’s pie once in the course of our entire almost five year marriage.  It’s not something I really know how to make normally, never mind with corned beef.  Nevertheless, we decided to give it a shot.  I cooked the corned beef in the crockpot during the day, the way I make it every year, then shredded it up, added some additional ingredients, topped it with potatoes and baked it.

And, a bit to my surprise, it was pretty awesome.  In an ideal world, I would’ve posted this recipe on or before Saint Patrick’s Day.  But that’s not how thing’s work around here.   I just made it today, because I’ve been out the past two nights and I knew shepherd’s pie wasn’t happening then.  So, if this looks good to you, see if your supermarket has any corned beef left…or save the recipe for next year.

Corned Beef Shepherd’s Pie

Prep Time 15 mins
Cook Time 30 mins

Ingredients
  

  • 1 package corned beef The time for this recipe does not include corned beef cooking time
  • 1 pound potatoes
  • 3 carrots
  • 1 onion
  • 1 garlic clove
  • vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions
 

To cook your corned beef

  • I made mine in the slow cooker while I was at work. 8-10 hours on the low setting should accomplish the job. No additional liquid is needed. When the corned beef is cooked (whatever method you choose), slice it with the grain so it shreds into small pieces.

To make the Shepherd's Pie

  • Peel the potatoes and roughly chop. In a medium pot, cover the potatoes with water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the temperature so that the potatoes are at a simmer. Simmer for about 10 minutes or until potatoes are soft.
  • While the potatoes cook, finely chop the onion and slice the carrots. Cook the onion and carrots in a large skillet on medium heat in a tablespoon of vegetable oil until the onions are soft. Add the crushed clove of garlic and continue to cook for about 1 minute.
  • Add the corned beef to the skillet, along with the frozen corn kernels. Mix and cook until warmed through.
  • Sprinkle the flour into the corned beef mixture. Toss to combine. Add 1 cup of beef broth and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer and allow to cook until the mixture becomes gravy-like.
  • When the potatoes are done, drain them. Return them to the pot and mash them. You can follow your usual mashed potato routine here, but we added about 1 tablespoon of butter and a half cup of milk. Set the mashed potatoes aside.
  • When your mashed potatoes and your beef mixture are both ready to go, it's time to assemble the shepherd's pie. Pour the beef mixture into an 8x8" glass pan and smooth it out with a spatula. Top the beef with the mashed potatoes and smooth them out as well.
  • Bake the shepherd's pie for 15 minutes in a 350 degree oven, or until the beef mixture is boiling. To brown the top, broil the pie for about 5 minutes or until the potatoes are browned.
  • Remove from the oven, allow to sit for at least 5 minutes, serve and enjoy!

It’s hard to believe that 2022 is basically behind us. Though overall this year found me getting back to the person I want to be (post-babies and “post”-pandemic), I did not try nearly as many new recipes this year as I used to. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised to see that I’d made note of any new-to-me recipes I wanted to share in this post. This year’s list is short, but delicious. It includes recipes from @budgetbytes, @smittenkitchen and @howsweeteats.

@coastalmainebotanicalgardens continues to be one @coastalmainebotanicalgardens continues to be one of the highlights of all my return trips to Boothbay and their annual Gardens Aglow event continues to impress. It was great to be back to walking the gardens instead of the pandemic drive through and there seemed to be more lights than ever.  I'm already looking forward to next year.

Fall in the Berkshires is always incredible, but t Fall in the Berkshires is always incredible, but this year we've had weather that has also been outstanding. The past 2 weekends have included time at Jaeschke Orchards, the Greylock Glen, and the Ashuwillticook Rail Trail as well as stopping to photograph any random foliage I see. 
Check out the last slide for video of some feathered friends we saw on a walk.

@freshgrassfestival continues to be one of my favo @freshgrassfestival continues to be one of my favorite events each year, and it doesn't hurt that it's just minutes away from home. Enjoying the festival with my kids is definitely a different experience than without, but it's still a good time. The weather was especially cooperative today which was great for all the laps I did around the @massmoca campus pushing a stroller. I'm already looking forward to next year.
