Ingredients:

• 1¼ - 1½ pounds of lean ground beef
• 2 tbsp of olive oil
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 1 cup of frozen carrots, small dice
• 1 cup of frozen peas
• 2 tsp of worcestershire sauce
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp of flour
• 2 tbsp of tomato paste
• 1½ cups of beef broth
• ¼ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp of fresh parsley
• 8 potato crepes

Sauté onion for 3-5 minutes or until softened and slightly caramelized. Add garlic and cook for an additional minute. Stir in frozen carrots and cook for 2 more minutes. Add flour and stir until absorbed by vegetables, for about 1 minute. Add worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, and beef broth. Stir together and simmer for on very low heat for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, make crepes, following our basic potato crepe recipe but adding cheddar cheese as the directions indicate. This step gives the crepes a beautiful color and adds to the overall tastiness! Note: If you made your crepes ahead of time, wrap them in foil and reheat in a 325-degree oven for about 10 minutes or until warmed.

After beef and vegetables have simmered for 15 minutes, add green peas and let simmer for an additional 3 minutes. Don't simmer too long or peas will lose their bright green appearance.

Assemble crepes: Lay first crepe on the serving dish. Put ½ cup of shepherds pie filling inside crepe and roll up. Repeat with remaining crepes. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Yield: 8 servings (1 crepe roll each) or 4 servings (2 crepe rolls each).
