Last week, I made a huge batch of turkey chili. When trying to come up with dishes to make with the leftovers I came across my recipe for skillet shepherd’s pie. That’s it, that was my inspiration. Instead of 1 giant pie, I thought I will use my favorite thing in the kitchen, my mini cast iron skillets to serve individual mini pies. Leftover chili is spooned into the skillets and instead of using mashed potato (the traditional shepherd’s pie topping), I used creamy polenta with fresh basil. Once baked, the polenta makes for a delectable, crunchy crust and when they come out, remember to top them with freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Delish! Your family will love this new comfort food. They’re sort of like an Italian Shepherd’s pie. Meaty, rich chili combined with creamy polenta and then, don’t forget, there’s the fresh basil completing this truly Italian taste sensation. This dish would also be really delicious with leftover bolognese sauce too, so keep that in mind. Enjoy! If you’ve tried this Chinese Hot and Sour Soup or any other recipe on the blog then don’t forget to rate the recipe and let me know how it turned out in the comments below.
