- Do I ever have something good
0:02
going on for y'all today.
0:09
I was at an assisted living facility the other day,
0:14
and they were serving dinner,
0:18
and so I was able to taste it,
0:22
and guess what it was.
0:24
It was shepherd's pie y'all.
0:26
I have not made it in years.
0:29
Or it feels like it's been years.
0:31
I'm finishing up my mashed potatoes with some butter,
0:34
and a little sour cream.
0:38
And I had forgotten just how good shepherd's pie is.
0:46
And, Eddie, when I told him what I was gonna make
0:48
he laughed.
0:50
He said "No, no, no, no, no,
0:51
"you can't call it shepherd's pie
0:53
"you've got to call it cottage pie
0:55
"'cause you're not using lamb."
0:59
- [Eddie] Well you have to tell them last week
1:01
when you made it for Michael,
1:04
and you actually had ground lamb right in front of you,
1:10
and you did not-
1:11
- I did not use it
1:12
'cause I'm not crazy about it,
1:13
so I did not use it.
1:15
All right, I'm gonna keep my potatoes warm
1:18
by covering that.
1:25
Anyway, I had forgotten how good it was,
1:27
and I said "Men love meat and potatoes,
1:32
"meat and potatoes,
1:33
"and if you can find a way
1:34
"to slip a vegetable in it, even better."
1:38
- [Theresa] And this is easy.
1:40
- Oh, it's so easy.
1:41
- [Theresa] You could bring your kids into the,
1:43
other than grounding the beef.
1:45
- Oh, it is so easy.
1:47
Yes, they can help you layer it.
1:49
So I'm gonna start with some good lean ground beef,
1:54
and I'm gonna make it in this pan.
1:57
So I probably wanna use maybe a pound and a half of meat.
2:07
'cause I want it to cover the bottom.
2:09
And, y'all, through the years I have
2:11
made shepherd's pie in so many different ways.
2:15
I've actually made 'em where
2:17
you do your layers and then the mashed potatoes on top.
2:22
But then I would mix up a biscuit mix,
2:26
a real, real loose biscuit mix,
2:29
and pour that on top,
2:30
so you've got your meat, your bread
2:32
and your veggies all in one pan.
2:34
So there's no rules except to call it shepherd's pie
2:38
you got to add lamb. (laughs)
2:42
That's the only rule, y'all.
2:44
All right, so I'm gonna add my ground beef,
2:47
I'm gonna add my onions.
2:48
And this part of the recipe
2:51
you can really put anything you want to in it.
2:56
You can take it any flavor you want.
2:58
So I'm gonna put a little celery seed.
3:03
Let's see what else I'm gonna put.
3:05
I'm gonna put a little paprika.
3:07
And that'll make it a little on the reddish side,
3:11
about like a tomato sauce would make it red
3:14
'cause a lot of 'em are made with...
3:22
I can't see my worcestershire bottle.
3:26
So I'll just unscrew it, that's easier for me.
3:31
About a tablespoon of worcestershire.
3:33
- [Theresa] This is the perfect guy's meal.
3:35
- Uh-huh.
3:37
We'll just do some parsley,
3:41
a little bit more vegetable to sneak in on 'em
3:45
that they don't know about.
3:50
And I'm gonna put some garlic in it.
3:57
And then I'm just gonna cook this until it's done.
4:02
Ooh that garlic smells good.
4:08
I'm gonna put a little house seasoning in it,
4:13
which is salt, pepper, garlic
4:15
and all that good stuff.
4:20
I am gonna put some onion powder.
4:27
- [Theresa] Okay, so for those of us that are exact,
4:31
and I'm gonna have to write this recipe.
4:32
- No, don't.
4:33
Have fun with it.
4:34
- [Theresa] Well, that's not how the recipe works, Paula.
4:36
(Paula laughs)
4:38
So, is this, would you say like a teaspoon
4:40
of each of those seasonings.
4:42
- No, just sprinkle it.
4:46
Just sprinkle it on.
4:47
- [Theresa] I would love for some people
4:49
to support me in the sense that
4:51
some people really follow directions.
4:53
- I know.
4:55
- [Theresa] And you don't
4:56
give them the directions in some things.
4:57
- Some people don't need 'em.
4:58
- [Theresa] Well, we do.
5:00
- Well, okay, let's say a half a teaspoon of celery seed,
5:05
half a teaspoon of paprika.
5:07
Half a teaspoon,
5:08
oh, I ain't got my dried thyme in there.
5:10
- [Theresa] See, you would have forgotten it
5:11
had I not said-
5:12
- No I would not have
5:13
'cause I got it out over here,
5:15
unlike your cheese.
5:16
(Theresa laughs)
5:19
Just a little thyme, maybe a,
5:21
just a sprinkle.
5:22
- [Theresa] I wish I was a throw it together.
5:24
- See, I love this kind of cooking.
5:27
- [Theresa] It never turns out for me.
5:29
- Oh.
5:31
Yeah, it does.
5:33
Just taste it when you get this done-
5:38
- [Theresa] Makes me nervous.
5:39
- No.
5:40
And let your palette tell you what it needs.
5:44
All right, I went outside,
5:46
and I picked some fresh thyme,
5:49
and I'm just gonna dice it up,
5:52
and throw it into my hamburger meat
5:56
just a little.
5:56
And if you don't like rosemary,
5:58
you don't have to put it.
5:59
- [Eddie] I was just gonna say
6:00
that's rosemary not thyme.
6:01
- Oh, I was thinking about my thyme
6:03
that I just put in it.
6:04
Sorry.
6:05
If you don't like rosemary, don't put it in there.
6:08
I'm gonna put just a little.
6:12
I kind of like the Italian seasonings.
6:16
In fact, you could add Italian seasoning,
6:20
and not do all the thyme,
6:22
am I gonna be confusing everybody that?
6:25
- [Eddie] I think dishes like this were created
6:29
for what you had in the garden or-
6:33
- You're exactly right, Eddie.
6:37
All right, now I've got a little wet beef base here,
6:43
and I'm gonna pour that in there
6:46
just to give it a little gravy.
6:56
I need some cheese too, Theresa.
6:58
I'm gonna put a layer of cheese in here.
7:01
How about it.
7:02
What cheese you think?
7:06
- [Theresa] You have tons of cheese.
7:07
- I do have a good bit,
7:09
and I've got some I can grate.
7:10
Ooh, you know what I've got?
7:12
- Oh goodness. - I've got that hook cheese.
7:14
Best cheese in the whole world.
7:17
- [Theresa] Tell people what hook cheese is,
7:18
and where you get it.
7:20
- To the stove.
7:22
- [Theresa] You get it at farmer's markets usually.
7:24
- Farmer's market.
7:26
I think I actually bought this
7:27
from the regular grocery store the other day.
7:30
But when you go in these little country markets
7:33
it's always on the meat counter,
7:36
on top of the butcher's display.
7:39
And it has red wax.
7:42
- [Theresa] I get it from Duke's.
7:43
- All right.
7:44
In the pot that goes.
7:52
(pan banging)
7:58
And you just wanna level that out.
8:03
And if you want to you can just scramble your ground beef,
8:05
and not put a thing in it.
8:07
A little salt and pepper if that's what you wanna do.
8:12
Now I love, I love green peas in my shepherd's pie.
8:19
But you'll find people may use corn, niblet corn,
8:25
or these green peas,
8:27
but this is what Michael and I like.
8:29
You know what, actually, when I started to think about
8:31
shepherd's pie when I came in the other night
8:35
I decided to make some,
8:37
and I actually put a crust on my shepherd's pie.
8:43
I did puff pastry, frozen puff pastry,
8:52
and it was delicious.
8:53
And I did a lattice on top of it,
8:56
and you bake that off and it's so good.
9:00
So, so, good.
9:02
Like I said, I've done a lot of different ways and things.
9:06
All right, you got me a little cheese ready, girl?
9:09
- [Theresa] I got some.
9:10
- Okay, I'll take it.
9:17
Eddie is being a pea stealer.
9:20
He's stealing the peas.
9:26
All right, so a layer of cheese.
9:30
And then when it's almost done
9:33
I'll top it with a little bit more cheese.
9:38
Okay, now the last thing to go on top
9:39
is our mashed potatoes.
9:43
And I'm sure y'all all know
9:44
how to make a mashed potato.
9:47
And I use red potatoes for my mashed potatoes,
9:57
but you can use any kind of potato that you've got.
10:00
There you go, shepherd's cottage pie.
10:12
So I'll wait.
10:14
Thank you, Theresa, for doing that.
10:18
So I'll wait,
10:23
and put some cheese on at the last second,
10:31
right before we take it out of the oven.
10:36
A little salt.
10:39
And that is it.
10:41
Shepherd's pie.
10:43
Do what you want to. (laughs)
10:46
Okay y'all.
10:47
Look at that shepherd's pie.
10:49
And I didn't put much cheese on the top,
10:52
just to let you know that there's more cheese to come.
11:00
There you go.
11:03
It looks delicious.
11:08
I hope it is.
11:11
I hope it is.
11:12
I'm gonna try to get me a little taste without...
11:22
Doing a giveaway.
11:23
Look, I've gotten to be a pro
11:24
at this sort of stuff over the years.
11:27
At sneaking a bite.
11:31
Love those green pees in it.
11:36
This is smoking.
11:41
What are you waiting,
11:42
to see me burn my...
11:43
- [Theresa] Uh-huh.
11:49
(Paula exhales)
11:56
I told you so.
12:03
- You know, I like my hot food hot,
12:04
my cold food cold.
12:11
This is really hot,
12:12
but it's also really, really good.
12:17
And it's right on time because
12:18
you know my cousin's coming in late this afternoon.
12:24
So, supper's ready.
12:29
Mm.
12:32
This is just one of those good old comfort foods y'all.
12:37
Meat and potatoes, can't beat it.
12:41
So, if you decide to do this for the father in your life,
12:47
I gave you suggestions on things,
12:52
but you do it the way you want it.
12:55
If you don't like English peas
12:57
or your father doesn't like English peas,
13:01
use white whole kernel corn,
13:07
it'll be good too.
13:09
Mm.
13:10
Love and best dishes,
13:13
and I hope you fathers out there
13:16
have a wonderful day.
13:20
And I hope people in your life
13:22
will treat you extra special.
13:25
Just for one day. (laughs)
13:28
Have a good one y'all.
13:30
Love and best dishes.
