]]> Shepherd’s pie is a classic British dish that tends to divide people. You either like it, or you don’t. It’s named as such because it uses lamb meat, but a common variation is Cottage Pie, using beef. Some enjoy the dish due to the texture and fusion of different flavors, while others find it a bit too much.

When judging the dish, you shouldn’t base your opinion on store-bought shepherd’s pie. Instead, make one yourself so you can get a clear idea of how you feel about it. Here is how to do it.

Ingredients:

  • 1.5 pounds of ground beef (or lamb)
  • 4 cups mashed potatoes
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 cups mixed veggies (carrots and peas)
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 onion
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions:

  1. Cook the ground beef in a pan over medium heat until browned.
  2. Mince the onion and garlic and add them to the pan. Sauté for several minutes until they become tender.
  3. Mix in the tomato paste, ground beef, onions, and garlic, and stir until everything is well combined.
  4. Add mixed veggies, broth, and Worcestershire sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Optionally, you can add other spices and herbs like rosemary and thyme.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil and then simmer for around five minutes until the veggies are cooked and the liquid is slightly reduced.
  6. Preheat the oven to 375F.
  7. Place the meat and veggies mixture in a baking dish and spread mashed potatoes on top.
  8. Bake between 20 and 25 minutes. You want the top layer to become golden brown.
  9. Let Sheppard’s pie cool off, get yourself a slice, and dig in.
