Hello internets! It’s Wednesday and what better way to celebrate being halfway through the workweek than by tackling the question that I know has been on everyone’s mind lately… What’s the deal with Shepherd’s and Chinese Pie!?! Are they the same thing? What makes it Chinese? Is anyone still reading?
…
Okay, well. Obviously no one cares, BUT I redid the photos from my original Tex-Mex Chinese Pie recipe and couldn’t wait to share. Beans, corn, tomatoes, chilies… All covered in hearty mashed potatoes.
This is stick-to-yer-ribs food right here. My mom used to make the non-vegan, more traditional version quite a bit when I was a kid. Hamburger, corn, potatoes. It was one of my favorite things she made. She also made corn chowder.. and Chinese take-out. My mom was too busy to cook much, haha!
The original post with the recipe AND a nice history of why it’s called Chinese Pie is here. Go check it out and add the ingredients to your shopping list pronto!

Chinese pie! I’ve never heard of this! I wonder if it’s maybe a regional thing? It sounds delicious though. Can’t go wrong with black beans and corn and potatoes.
Aha! Well, duh It IS a regional thing. I just went back and read your original post. That’s what I get for not reading before commenting!
I’ll eat anything with potatoes in them! If I could live off potatoes alone I’d be so happy! That pie looks seriously good! Nothing like a good pie to beat the sub zero temperatures here!
