TEXAS STYLE HASH BROWNS SHEPHERD'S PIE

Steps:

• Brown meat and onions in a dry frying pan on high heat. Meat will cook in its own juices, so do not add oil. When cooked, drain.
• Tip back into frying pan and add tomatoes, soup, mushrooms and peas.
• Add one can full of water and stir.
• Add Worcestershire Sauce and A1 Steak Sauce to taste. (Use approx 2 tbsp of Worcestershire Sauce as a guideline, and 1 tsp of A1, but you will know when it tastes right!).
• Cook on a high heat until bubbling, then cover and reduce heat.
• Simmer for 10 - 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• In the meantime add cheese and milk together in a bowl. Add beaten egg and stir until well mixed. Set aside.
• When Meat mixture has condensed down and thickened slightly, remove from heat.
• Spoon mixture into a 9x13-inch oven pan with a slotted spoon, draining off excess 'juice' if necessary.
• Pan should be 1/2 to 3/4 full.
• Add packaged hash brown mix on top of the meat mixture, pressing down to compact.
• Pour egg, milk and cheese mixture (above) on top of the hash browns, and bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes, or until hash browns have browned to a nice crispy golden colour.
• During the last few minutes of cooking, you can add extra shredded cheese to the top of the pie, and broil for a few minutes to melt.
• This recipe tastes great when served with HP sauce (which is a spicy English sauce). My husband also enjoys it with ketchup, however neither of these are necessary, and this is simply a serving suggestion! Enjoy!

SKILLET SHEPHERD'S PIE

Steps:

• Move oven rack to the upper-middle position and heat the broiler.
• Place the frozen hash browns in a large microwavable bowl and separate the shreds. (I pound them lightly with the back of a wooden spoon and they fall apart.) Toss them with 2 tbsp of the melted butter, 1 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper. Microwave the potatoes, covered, until tender - 7 - 10 minutes on high.
• Cook ground meat and onion in a large oven safe skillet until it is cooked, about 5 minutes. Drain fat off.
• Stir thyme and flour into beef/onion mixture and cook about 1 minute. Add broth and Worcestershire sauce and cook about 6 - 8 minutes until thickened.
• Add peas and carrots to beef mixture and simmer until heated, about a minute, and season with salt and pepper.
• Scatter the cooked hash browns over the top of the beef mixture and brush with the rest of the butter.
• Place the skillet unter the broiler and broil 3 - 5 minutes or until the potatoes have golden brown tips.
• Remove from oven and serve.
