Recipes with Rob: Shepherd's Pie

Friday, July 13, 2018

Over the last ten years we have prepared Shepherd's pie many times. This, however, was the first time we made it using essential oils. Our friend Amy joins us to try it I (Kayla) also appear on Recipes with Rob for the first time. :)

The recipe:
-2 pounds of ground beef
-1 large minced onion
-2 tablespoons, give or take, fractionated coconut oil
-2 drops of thyme essential oil
-1 drop of rosemary essential oil
-1 drop of coriander essential oil
-2 cups of frozen organic corn
-2 large potatoes
-1 cup of milk
-2-4 oz of butter
-3 drops of black pepper essential oil
-2 cups of shredded cheese

Once you have browned the meat with the onion, fractionated coconut oil, thyme, rosemary, and coriander drain the meat. Then spread into the bottom of a large glass pan. Pour the corn over the meat and spread it out. Mash the potatoes using the milk, butter, and black pepper oil. Evenly sprinkle shredded cheese over the top. Bake until cheese is crisp (between 20 and 40 mins).

We hope you love this recipe as much as we do. If so please share on your social media pages.
