I joined the French Fridays with Dorie cooking group months ago, right before we departed El Paso and haven't done anything with it since we've been in Germany. I'm going to try to change that soon! I made this hachis parmentier recipe this past Thanksgiving weekend, but never posted about it. I enjoyed the dish so much that I had to make it again...and post about it this time.
Hachis parmentier is the French version of shepherd's pie. In this particular recipe, instead of using cube steak/beef chuck and making bouillon, I took the easy way out and used ground beef and beef broth. I mixed parsley, garlic and sauteed mushrooms into the beef filling and topped it off with mashed potatoes. Instead of using grated gruyere cheese, I used creamed havarti. Ohhhh...yummy!
When it's done baking, the mashed potatoes get browned and crusty. And it's great with any kind of vegetable on the side. Yesterday we had asparagus spears and tonight we had it with sauteed zucchini. It's my new favorite comfort food dish.
I know...I'm getting tired of using the same backdrop for all my pics, but I'm lacking inspiration lately.
The French Fridays with Dorie group doesn't post the actual recipes because it discourages folks from buying the cookbook. I'll stay true to that, but leave you guys this link to a simple hachis parmentier.
Enjoy!
