Good Shepherds Pie Recipes?

I had a hankering for this today so I made one. Very simple recipe...saute ground beef and onions, salt and pepper, put in a casserole dish and top with mashed potato and cheddar cheese and bake for 30 minutes. I added a little tomato paste to the beef.

Does anyone have a "sexier" recipe? :-)

Sounds perfectly yummy to me. I think I gained a pound just thinking about it. :)

my English grandma certainly never did THAT. :o

the tomato paste. It was a little dry. How do you prevent that?

damn she made a great shepherds pie. And I don't think me mum makes shepherds pie.

peace

corn and peas, usually.

"Our Shepherd's Pie is made from 100% real English shepherds."

All that's missing is a "piece of ewe." :evilgrin:

I've heard of some recipes with lamb in them. I guess either ground or stew cubes would be fine.

And Dookus is right about the carrots and peas. :thumbsup:

I personally only like lamb shepherd's pie. Hence the name

Thanks a lot, Raven! :mad:

;)

Layer in 3-quart casserole dish in this order:

1-2 lbs. ground beef, browned well, drained and seasoned with sauted chopped onions, salt and pepper. Add 1/2 teaspoon summer savory (optional)

1 can creamed corn mixed with 1 can drained whole kernal corn

Top with enough mashed potatoes (can be made fresh, leftover, frozen or, if you really have to, from a box mix) for about 6 servings. Dot with butter and sprinkle with paprika.

Bake for 30-45 minutes until browned in a 350 degree oven.


mmmmm..... my sister and I fight over the brown crusty bits on top.

Edit: One sad aside. A few years ago we knew something was wrong with our mother when we asked her to make shepherd's pie (something she had only made about a zillion times) and she said, "What's that?" Turns out she was in early-stage Alzheimer's. Shepherds' pie always makes me think of her.
