Shepherd’s pie is a classic for a reason. Perfectly seasoned ground meat and vegetables layered beneath a cloud of mashed potatoes is the ultimate winter comfort food<\/a>. For an update on the classic, try a sweet potato shepherd’s pie. You’ll love the pop of color, hint of sweetness and boost of nutrients from the sweet potatoes.<\/p>\n In this recipe, mashed sweet potatoes take the place of white potatoes in a traditional shepherd’s pie<\/a>, covering the meat-and-vegetable filling in a blanket of fluffy goodness. A few dashes of warm, autumnal spices complement the sweet earthiness of sweet potatoes, giving this dish a truly cozy, wintry vibe. Here’s how to make it at home, plus plenty of ideas for variation.<\/p>\n Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F. Scrub the sweet potato well, and pierce it all over with a fork. Place on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 10 to 12 minutes or until tender, turning once.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em>\u00a0You may also boil the whole, scrubbed sweet potato until tender, or scrub, slice and steam the sweet potato.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook the beef and onion until the meat is no longer pink. Drain excess fat.<\/p>\n When the sweet potato is cool enough to handle, cut it in half. Scoop out the flesh, and place in a small bowl. Use a fork to mash the sweet potato with the butter, milk, salt and pepper.<\/p>\n Using a spoon or two, spread the sweet potato mash evenly over the meat mixture.<\/p>\n Bake the pie, uncovered, for 25 to 30 minutes or until heated through.<\/p>\n Sweet potato shepherd’s pie should be kept in the refrigerator. Store it in the baking dish, tightly covered, or transfer to an airtight container. The pie will keep for up to four days.<\/p>\n Sweet potato shepherd’s pie freezes well! You may freeze a fully prepared shepherd’s pie, or freeze the unbaked pie.<\/p>\n To make a lower-carb version of this recipe, replace the mashed sweet potatoes with mashed cauliflower<\/a>. Omitting the corn will also cut down on carbs.<\/p>\n Many side dishes taste great alongside shepherd’s pie. Classic roasted vegetables<\/a> like Brussels sprouts, carrots, asparagus and green beans are great choices. Classic winter side dishes<\/a> also make for a cozy supper.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Cozy, hearty and quick, sweet potato shepherd’s pie is an easy comfort food to relish
