So I played hookie yesterday. My college roommate has lived abroad since graduate school, so we rarely get to see each other. However, she does come through the states at least once a year. We always try to see each other someway or somehow. Sometimes it's just a passing through (Missouri to Texas) lunch, sometimes it's a day or two. Today we enjoyed a two and a half hour lunch and lots of chatting. You know a great friend when you can not see each other for months and pick up like you talked just yesterday. Hopefully we will be able to plan a trip to Malaysia before they move again.
In honor of St. Paddy's Day I cooked an irish dinner. This year I made Shepard's Pie and cabbage. I've never even eaten Shepard's Pie. I found a couple of recipes on Pinterest and tried one out. It was really good. Next time I will put a little more spice.
You start by browning the ground beef in a skillet and adding onions, garlic, paprika, and thyme. When that is cooked down you add peas, carrots, and corn and let it cook for another minute or two. You whisk together beef stock, flour, chili sauce, and Worcestershire sauce and pour over the beef mixture.
For the potato topping melt cheese over boiled potatoes and add sour cream, salt, and onion powder. Mash until smooth.
Spread potatoes over beef mixture and sprinkle with more cheese.
Bake at 375 for 25 minutes.
When it comes out of the oven top with parsley. I will definitely make it again and it I won't be waiting until next year.
