Ingredients
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 2 tablespoons butter, divided
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 packet dry French onion soup mix
- 1 cube chicken bouillon
- 1 cube beef bouillon
- 2 tablespoons water (Optional)
- 1 (11 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
- 1 (10 ounce) can diced carrots, drained
- 1 (10 ounce) can peas, drained
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and transfer potatoes to a large bowl. Mash potatoes with 1 tablespoon butter using a potato masher or fork; season with salt and pepper.
- Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease. Stir onion soup mix, chicken bouillon, and beef bouillon into ground beef; simmer until flavors blend, about 2 minutes. Add water if mixture is too dry.
- Spread ground beef mixture into the bottom of a 2-quart casserole dish; top with corn, carrots, and peas. Spoon mashed potato mixture over vegetable layer; sprinkle with paprika.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese over mashed potato layer; continue baking until cheese is melted and bubbling, about 10 more minutes.
- Instant potatoes can be substituted for fresh potatoes. Follow the directions on the box to make the 5 to 6 serving size (2 2/3 cups).

Reviews
My kids were sceptical, my last attempt at a Shepard’s pie was not great, I added a little more water to make almost a gravy, and not a single complaint! It was awesome!
I loved this recipe. It was easy to make & I made quite a few replacements. I did use potato flakes instead of real potatoes. I also did not have any bouillon, so I substituted with Sazon Goya. It came out excellent. I will be making this again.
It was tasty but didn’t fit my understanding of Shepherd’s Pie. Needs gravy.
Everyone loved it!!
I doubled the recipe, added some onion and fresh garlic to the meat as it was browning. Added a can of cream of mushroom soup warmed up with about 1/2 c. of water and 1 envelope of the dry soup mix. For the potatoes I added 1/3 c. cream cheese, same amount of sour cream, hot milk to get good consistency. Used frozen peas, corn and cooked fresh carrots. We loved it!
Delicious and super easy.
Wonderful. Simple
This recipe turned out great. I substituted ground turkey for the ground beef. I diced the potatoes for the mashed potatoes, covered them with water in my 3 qt. InstaPot and cooked them on manual for 5 minutes. I left them warming in the IP until I was ready for them. I steamed the carrots, peas, and corn in my 5 qt. InstaPot for 12 minutes and left them warming in the IP. I cooked the ground turkey and diced onion in a skillet and added the Lipton Onion Soup mix when the turkey was browned. I added enough chicken broth to moisten the mixture. From here I followed the recipe as written.
I would definitely make it again.
Great and simple recipe!
This was a very quick and easy dinner to make. I didn’t have the right kind of soup mix, and used one can of mixed peas and carrots and the family loved it. Definitely will make it again.
Enjoyed preparing this dish! I like a little spice, so I added some chorizo for a little extra zing.
My family loved this one!!! I added a package of brown gravy mix to the hamburger mixture and used box mashed potatoes. I did omit the peas because my teenagers dislike them. Lol,.. but kept the recipe the same otherwise and my family ate the entire pan! Gone! Super easy and simple! Yum!
I only added 1/2 of a beef bouillon cube and none of the chicken. With a whole envelope of soup mix it would have been WAY too salty!
It was a bit too salty, but even with that it was really good. Next time I will use half of the soup mix and half of the bouillon.
I’ve made it a few times, and its delicious. Only change I made was adding two tablespoons of Worchestershire sauce too ground beef.
I made it and was so delicious!
This was my first time eating and cooking sheperd pie. I didn’t have cheddar cheese, so I replaced it with parmesan cheese; it still tasted good. This dish was easy to make as a beginner
This is THE Best! Every time I’ve made Shepard’s pie to was bland. This was definitely not. I added roasted garlic to the mashed potatoes and 2 heaping tablespoons of minced garlic to the meat. Delicious!!
I Made this Last night for my honey’s Birthday, it was awesome! The only thing I changed was I added a Little More Butter and more Sour Cream, and omitted the Carrots because he doesn’t Like Cooked Carrots..other than that it’s fine. Everybody Loved it I will post pics Later Thank you!
Just added Worcestershire sauce!!! If course extra cheese!
