Sheppard’s Hash
Ingredients
- 2 lbs. Braum’s ground beef
- ⅓ cup + 3 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
- 1 Tbsp. Braum’s salted butter
- 1 large yellow onion, chopped
- 6 celery stalks, diced
- 10 oz. shredded carrots
- 2 cups beef stock
- 1 Tbsp. soy sauce
- 8 oz. white mushrooms, sliced
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 3-4 medium russet potatoes, grated
- 2 cups Braum’s heavy whipping cream
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ tsp. nutmeg
- 4 oz. Braum’s shredded cheddar cheese, divided
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- In a deep skillet, cook beef over med-high heat until done; remove and strain.
- Place the meat in a mixing bowl and add flour (⅓ cup) and mix; set aside.
- In the same pan, melt 1 Tbsp. butter and lightly sauté onions, celery, and carrots and return the beef to the pan.
- Add in beef stock and soy sauce, mixing to avoid lumps. Bring the pot to a boil until mixture is slightly thickened and add in mushrooms.
- Reduce heat, season with salt and pepper to taste, cover and allow to simmer for 30 minutes.
- For the sauce that you mix with the potatoes: in a small bowl, mix the flour (3 Tbsp.) and cream to create a slurry.
- In a small saucepan, cook minced garlic for 2-3 minutes, then whisk in the slurry mix, nutmeg, salt and pepper, bring to a simmer, and allow to thicken stirring often.
- Once thick, combine the mixture with grated potatoes and mix thoroughly; set aside.
- Next, remove the meat mixture from heat and pour it into a greased 9×12 baking dish. Top it with a layer of cheddar cheese (2 oz.), add a layer of the potato mix, and finally top with more cheddar cheese (2 oz.). Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown on top.
