What’s in Cheeseburger Shepherd’s Pie?
This recipe is really a mash-up of two recipes: a cheeseburger & shepherd’s pie. Both are easy to make and taste great when combined. In this version you will find:
Ground Beef
Green Pepper
Onion
Garlic
Tomato Paste
Relish
Mustard
Cheddar Cheese
Mashed Potatoes
Tips for Making Cheeseburger Shepherd’s Pie:
1) One Skillet. Since everything is made in one skillet try having all the ingredients prepped and ready to go prior to cooking. This will make the recipe come together quicker!
2) Mashed potatoes. If you don’t want to make homemade you can certainly buy store-bought. OR the box kind works too. Don’t judge!
3) Relish. If you aren’t a fan of relish you can always use chopped up dill pickles! OR you could omit the pickles all together and use salsa instead!
Can I substitute the Ground Beef?
You bet! Ground turkey, chicken, or plant-based protein would be an excellent substitute!
Can I substitute the Cheddar Cheese?
Oh, yeah! White cheddar would be amazing or Gouda. Gouda is always a good idea. OR provolone would be delicious as well.
Can I freeze this dish?
YEP! You can freeze this entire skillet in an air-tight container for up to one month. Also a great meal to make for a friend to reheat and serve.
