Description

Indulge in the comforting flavors of this classic Corned Beef Shepherd’s Pie, a hearty twist on the traditional Irish favorite. Tender corned beef, savory vegetables, and creamy mashed potatoes come together in a warm, satisfying dish that’s perfect for family meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 2 medium carrots, peeled and diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound cooked corned beef, shredded
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and garlic; sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute.
  4. Gradually whisk in beef broth and milk, scraping the bottom of the pan. Add thyme, salt, and pepper; simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.
  5. Fold in shredded corned beef and frozen peas; cook until heated through.
  6. Transfer the filling to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
  7. Meanwhile, boil potatoes until tender, then mash with 1/4 cup butter, milk, and Parmesan cheese until smooth.
  8. Spread mashed potatoes over the meat mixture, smoothing the top.
  9. Bake for 30‑35 minutes, or until the top is golden and the filling bubbles.
  10. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For a lighter version, substitute ground turkey or omit the butter in the mash. Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven or microwave. This dish pairs nicely with a crisp green salad.
