Easy Elk Shepard's Pie
Sent in by Rocky Jay


~ 2 lbs. ground elk burger
~ 1 medium onion, chopped
~ seasoning salt
~ pepper
~ 1 package frozen mixed vegetables
~ brown gravy mix, enough to make 2 cups
~ 1/2 cup water
~ 1 tsp thyme
~ 1/2 tsp rosemary
~ 6 large potatoes
~ milk or sour cream
~ salt


Place the elk and onion in a large skillet. Season with seasoning salt and pepper. Brown and drain if needed.

While the meat is cooking, peel and cube the potatoes and boil them until soft.

Place the vegetables in a microwave safe bowl and cook until defrosted and not quite cooked.

Make the gravy according to directions. Pour onto the meat. Stir in the water. You may need more than ½ cup. You want to thin it some but not too much.

Stir in the thyme and rosemary. Stir in the vegetables.

Mash the potatoes when done using milk or sour cream. Season to taste with salt.

Pour the meat mixture into a casserole dish.

Spread the mashed potatoes evenly over the top.

Place in oven and bake for 15 – 20 minutes at 350 degrees or until heated through and the potatoes are just turning brown.

Place in broiler for a couple of minutes to brown the top of the potatoes.

Let cool a few minutes before serving.

Enjoy with fresh baked biscuits you cooked since the oven was already hot.

You can use deer or beef burger if you don’t have any elk.
