Remember I told you that I am in Lazy Town? Welp, still there. And just to show you how pathetically lazy I am about blogging these days, I am going to post a repeat recipe, even using old photos (GASP)!!! Ehhh, cut me a break, it’s the first time I have done a repeat in 2 years.
The Hungry Housewife’s Guinness Shepherds Pie
Printer Friendly Version
1 ½ pounds Organic ground beef 80/20
1 (1lb) bag frozen mixed vegetables, thawed
2 packets of dry Brown Gravy Mix

Olive Oil
2 bottles Guinness Beer
2 Tablespoons Tomato Paste
2 cups Sharp Cheddar Cheese
3 pounds baking potatoes
¼- ½ cup milk
1 stick butter
Salt and pepper
Preheat oven to 375
To make Potato filling…
Boil the potatoes in slated water until fork tender. Drain completely and place back in pot so all of the water evaporates.
In a medium mixing bowl add butter and potatoes. Mash until smooth, while adding the milk for a medium consistency. Add salt and pepper.
Meat filling…
Cook and drain ground beef.
Place drained beef back in skillet and add 1 bottle of Guinness. Cook until beer has almost cooked out.
Add tomato paste to meat
In a medium sauce pan, prepare the brown gravy according to package directions,
however, use beer for half the liquid called for( 1 cup water, 1 cup beer)
Pour gravy into meat mixture. And cook all together until you get a nice thick gravy.
In medium skillet with olive oil sauté onions until soft and translucent.
Add mixed vegetables to the onions and cook until warm throughout.
In a 2 quart baking dish, add meat as bottom layer, the add vegetables, and then add the mashed potatoes. Top with Shredded cheese.Cook at 375 for about 20 minutes or until cheese in nice and bubbly

Adding beer in a sheperds pie! Sounds interesting.
Beer in shepherds pie… what a wonderful thing. Looks amazing!
If you use beef instead of lamb it's a cottage pie, which I think sounds cute! This one with Guinness sounds really delicious!
Ummm pie! Send me some now, or the peeps get it! Well, I will share some with them 🙂
ireland doesn't have a whole heck of a lot going for it in the area of food, but shepherd's pie and guinness beer are enough to sate me. lovely creation!
Total comfort food – delish!
This looks oh so YUMMY!!! I have to admitt I have NEVER had shepards pie but its because I am not a lamb fan and never thought or heard of using ground beef =) Adding of the beef makes it even better =) I CANT wait to give it a try!
I don't like the sound of "meat pie" either. And I haven't made shepherd's pie for a long, long time, but used to make it a lot.
Lazy away, maybe you'll accidentally give out your ccc recipe! 😉
I love St. Patty's day! so fun! Great recipe for next week.
Mmm….Guiness!!!!
I'm going to make green heart shaped shamrock pancakes for my kids this year! Courtesy of Nummies.
The good ones are worth repeating, especially if they were far back enough that we didn't have lots of followers. I've done it once and plan to do it again soon.
Loving this recipe! With beer yet. Yummee.
Oh does that ever look good. I love the addition of the beer. I am going to have to try this. My husband loves Sheperd's Pie and this verison sounds delicious!
oo yum guinness…I can imagine how rich and flavourful this is.
That's ok if it an oldy but goodie. This looks fantastic. I have never made Shepards Pie before.
Definitely worth the repeat, I'd say. My hubby would love this.
Shoot- i'm impressed you even blog with all those youngens! Looks delish!
I sure wish I would have had this tasty dish for dinner tonight – yum!
Have fun in lazy town! 🙂
I will stick with your version using the beef instead of lamb. Lamb is just so …well….not good, to put it nicely.
Leslie! I forgot about St. Patricks day just until now.
Thanks for sharing this post, maybe I can use artificial meat instead. It sure looks appetizing!
Crap…no getting out of this one! My husband glanced over my shoulder and noticed your Shepherd's Pie pic…guess who now has to make it for him this week??? lol!
Have a great week!…Sandy in SoCal
Yum! I am really Irish, so I am excited to give this a try – maybe a little Saint Patrick's Day dinner! Thanks!
Nicely done! Love the short ingredient list 😀 Comfort food should ALWAYS be so easy!
I haven't had a Shepard's Pie in forever. Yum, yum, yum…
Meat Pie sounds too Sweeney Todd to me! Basically any sort of casserole topped with mashed potatoes..I call Shepards pie! 🙂
You and me both!… to all of the above! I feel like I need a disclaimer: The content of my blogs from now until mid May will be drastically comprised… be warned. Yours however, never disapoint!
What a fun recipe! It looks delicious.
Ok, this Shepherds Pie does absolutely rock the house! I was skeptical about the Guinness but it cooks out the harsh flavor and leaves nothing but goodness! Will definitely be making this again!!!!
***CHICKAVAITOR***
I am soooo very glad you enjoyed my Shepherds Pie!!!
Oh yeah! Shepherd's Pie. My favorite food! I plan to pig out on it that night! Someone else is making it or I'd try yours!
fantastic! i love shephard's pie!
Made this over the weekend and we loved it! Only change was to dice fresh carrots…sauteed them with the onions and used frozen peas and corn instead of mixed vegetables. Made two 8×8 pans, ate one and froze the other! Oh, also added 3 garlic cloves to the mashed potatoes!
Love Sheperd's Pie, there's nothing wrong with repeating a recipe, at least you made full disclosure. I'm going to compare recipes with mine, yous looks so much better!
Looks delicious!
It might be a repeat for you but it's the first time at your blog so it's new to me. Great looking shepherd's pie! Great blog too.
AMAZING! Best Sheppard's Pie EVER! I just featured it on my blog!
