Rosie McLean's Shepherd Pie

Ingredients:

1 ½ Pounds lean ground beef

2 tablespoons butter

1 teaspoon Worchester sauce

2 eggs, separated

6 tablespoons additional of butter

8 potatoes, peeled, boiled, and mashed

1 cup finely chopped onion

½ cup chopped green pepper

1 tablespoon ketchup

6 or more tablespoons of beef broth

½ cup heavy cream

¼ teaspoon garlic powder

Parmesan cheese

Optional, hot sauce to taste

Directions:

Brown ground beef and sauté onions and peppers in 2 tablespoons of butter until golden. Mix ground beef with onions, peppers, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce and optional hot sauce (I like 1
tablespoon). Salt and pepper to taste.

Add a few tablespoons of beef broth and cook, covered, over low heat for 15 to 20 minutes, adding more broth as necessary to keep moist. Beat egg yolks until light, then in another bowl, beat egg whites until stiff. (Not you – the whites)
Beat the yolks, cream, 6 tablespoons of butter and garlic powder into hot mashed potatoes. Gently fold in beaten egg whites. Put meat mixture into casserole then top with potato mixture. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top and bake at 350 degrees until potato topping is puffed and
browned, about 25 to 35 minutes.
Serves 8 or one real hungry construction worker.
