Meaty stew with mashed potatoes is one of the most comfortable combinations imaginable. Traditional shepherd’s pie, sometimes known as cottage pie, has been around for three centuries and is a staple of British cuisine. This recipe takes a long time to make from scratch, but it was originally made to use up leftovers. The slow cooker makes short work of what would otherwise be a laborious preparation, turning this dish into a midweek miracle.
Numerous variants of shepherd’s pie exist, as is typical with most traditional recipes. Lamb and beef are also used in different forms. Vegetables may range from a plain old mix of carrots and peas to a wild and wonderful assortment of maize, mushrooms, and turnips. I like my sauces plain and savory, like gravy, even if they might be tomato-based on occasion. Using ground beef keeps the cost down, and the addition of fresh herbs gives it a luxurious taste, in my version.

1. In a large saucepan, combine the potatoes with 1 teaspoon of salt. Put in enough water to cover, then boil the potatoes until they are tender. Be careful not to boil the potatoes to the point where they break apart when cooked in water. After the potatoes have drained, place them in a big basin.
Boil the potatoes and set them. In a saute pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Incorporate the minced meat, onions, bay leaves, pepper, and a teaspoon of salt. Cook the steak until it is done. Take off the bay leaves and pour off any extra fat.

Third, transfer the meat mixture to a 6-quart slow cooker.
4. Combine the cornstarch and water to form a slurry. Shake vigorously to prevent lumps. Coat the vegetables with Worcestershire sauce, add peas and carrots, and then add the slurry to the slow cooker.
5. Toss the potatoes with the sour cream, butter, parsley, and 1 teaspoon of salt in the basin. Using a potato masher or two forks, mash all of the ingredients together. Thoroughly blend until mixture is uniform.
6. After placing the ground beef in the slow cooker, evenly distribute the mashed potatoes on top.
Low heat for 7 hours or high heat for 4 hours.

7. After removing the pot from the slow cooker base, let it 15 minutes to cool and set before you serve.
Advice from the pros: Try it with different ground meats and some starchy veggies. Feel free to swap out the potatoes with parsnips or sweet potatoes and the ground beef for lamb or turkey.
