Cooking & Baking
Related: About this forumAnyone have a good shepard's pie recipe?
I have a bunch of leftover roast, mashed potatoes and corn. What I really need to know is how long to bake it. And temperature.

(39,961 posts)some corn, the roast beef, some assorted carrots, broccoli and cauliflour that was in the fridge from two days ago. I made mashed potatoes, and sprinkled cheese on it, but I don't know how long to cook it. Oh, and I put some beef stock in it.
It's really just a leftover pie, just so we can eat the rest of a good meal. I don't know how long to cook it.

(39,961 posts)Would that be a good move?

(17,055 posts)you don't want it swimming in it. Let us know how it turns out. I bet it will be good!

(39,961 posts)but the only time I ever cooked this was with Dinty Moore beef stew as a base, and then the mashed potatoes and cheese.
Since then, I've learned quite a bit, but I'm going on a limb here, because I haven't done this dish with actual real live food. LOL.
It came out delicious and it was good way to deal with leftovers. I just tasted it, and it needs to sit for a while, but it is ready to be devoured.
I cooked it on 350 for 90 minutes.

(39,961 posts)Like, may I have some more good. I'm impressed that I made leftovers something new.

(39,961 posts)I didn't know what to put it on, but 350 worked out great, so thank you. I am so full I can almost touch it.

(146,218 posts)I love this dish and make it regularly.
On a particularly rocky night, I went to pull it out of the oven and the entire thing went onto the floor. What a mess!

(39,961 posts)Dad asked for seconds!
I think I did good
that's tragic. I hope you didn't burn yourself!

(146,218 posts)Lesson learned. I now stick to things that can't spill like that when it gets rocky.

(39,961 posts)leftover roast, make some potatoes, add about a quarter cup of beef stock to the vegetables and leftover meat, spread the potatoes on top, add some cheese, and bake it for 90 minutes at 350 degrees.
It's not exactly a recipe, but the corn really livened up the Shepherd's pie.
