Making Shepherd’s Pie for one in the crockpot is such a simple way to get a small‑batch dinner without a lot of prep or cleanup. This single‑serving recipe uses basic ingredients, comes together quickly, and cooks low and slow while you go about your day. If you’re cooking for one and want something hearty, comforting, and easy to portion, this crockpot Shepherd’s Pie is a great option.
I make this one‑serving Shepherd’s Pie using a 2qt slow cooker. It’s perfect for solo cooks, small households, or anyone who wants a satisfying dinner without leftovers.
I found my 2 qt crockpot on Amazon, you can find it here if you need one. It is the perfect size! https://amzn.to/4avl5wz

Crockpot Shepherd’s Pie for One
Ingredients
- ¼ lb Stew Meat
- 2/3 c Frozen Mixed Vegetables
- 1 T Diced Onion
- 1 Garlic Clove Minced
- 1 t Tomato Paste
- 1 t Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 c Beef Broth
- 1/2 T Flour
- House Seasoning
- 1 Medium-sized potato
- 1 T Butter
- 1 T Sour Cream
- 1 T Milk
- 1/8 t Salt
- 1/8 t Pepper
- 1 t Corn Starch mixed with 1 T Water this is optional if you want to add it as a thickener
Instructions
- Coat the stew meat with house seasoning and flour
- Place the stew meat, vegetables, diced onion, garlic clove, tomato paste, Worcestershire Sauce, and beef broth in the crockpot
- Wrap the potato in foil (if using) and place in to the crockpot.
- Cook on high for 4-5 hours or low for 7-8 hours. You’ll know it is done when the potato is tender (I like to check it with a skewer)
- Once the potato is tender remove it from the crockpot
- Check the shepherd’s pie if it thick enough to your liking skip adding the cornstarch slurry. If you would like to thicken the mixture add your cornstarch slurry
- Unwrap the potato and mash it with the sour cream, salt and pepper , and milk
- Top your shepherd’s pie with the mashed potato
- Enjoy!
