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!

In January I decided that one of my "deliberate" s In January I decided that one of my "deliberate" sub-goals for 2021 would be to figure out the best pizza dough recipe and topping combinations for my family. We've had pizza night on the menu for a long time, but I knew that I could improve the pizzas that were coming out of my oven. Each week (or so) I've been sharing in my Stories the pizzas I've made with various stores and toppings. I am eight weeks in I've already learned a lot about technique and what I prefer in a pizza crust and toppings. I'm also looking forward to seeing what the rest of the year will hold in my pizza making studies. Check out my highlights for all the pizzas so far!

Apparently, in the weirdness that is 2020, posting Apparently, in the weirdness that is 2020, posting to my Instagram feed was one of the things that didn't make the cut. There are more items than I'd prefer in that category, but recently I've felt like I'm beginning to get my feet firmly planted beneath me again. This fall was so busy with learning how to teach remotely and parent 2 children well. I don't anticipate that life will ever feel not busy, but I've been able to carve out some time lately for activities I've been missing. Making bread is one of those activities. Hopefully, more posts in the feed will be more frequent going forward.

#sponsored All the time we've spent at home lately #sponsored All the time we've spent at home lately has definitely had me looking to expand the snack options in my pantry.  I jumped at the chance to try these @sunmaid Sour Raisins  and they immediately became one of my daughter's favorite snacks. She likes them because they're reminiscent of candy, I like them because they're technically fruit and they come prepackaged for easy snacking and taking on the go. I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty they are!

This weekend's weather was amazing and my family e This weekend's weather was amazing and my family embarked on the only way to kick off fall: we went apple picking at Jaeschke Orchards in Adams.  The parking lot was full, but out in the orchard we hardly came across any other groups.  The trees were heavy with apples and we quickly filled our bag. Looking forward to apples for snacks, pie, crisp and turnovers in the coming weeks.
