Shepherd's Pie

Pretty ok, could use some joujing

Good flavor. I had everything I needed except peas, so I used green beans and a little extra tomato paste and extra seasoning. This is a tasty dish.

Can sub meat for ground beef. I like it better without the carrots

Very good, took me a bit longer but I wasn’t rushing. I added cheese to my plate and it was quite good. I did add extra seasonings to the mash potatoes. Would make again and with different renditions

I used to make this from scratch all the time when I was a SAHM. this time, I saved myself the trouble of extra dishes by buying the onions and carrots pre-cut, and i bought heat and serve mashed potatoes (so I could skip the first half of the recipe). i also built the whole dish in a 10" cast iron skillet. this way, there are fewer dishes, and the cook time is reduced to 1 hour!

I doubled the batch & portioned out into two baking dishes. Perfect for transport or a freezer meal. I subbed out lamb with hamburger, subbed out half of the Worcestershire sauce with balsamic vinegar, and topped with parmesan. It was creamy, savory, and delicious. The potatoes were buttery, and the pie's mouthfeel was spot-on, full of rich herby goodness. Next time I want to try without parmesan, to see how this changes the flavor profile & with less oil, to compensate for the hamburger juices.

Add more spice

This was really tasty. We actually used less lamb but it was still really filling and lots of yummy leftovers since there were only 4 of us eating.

Added cabbage instead of corn. Use beef instead of lamb.

Love this recipe! I use ground beef. Double the potatoes if you like a thick layer. For the veggies I just add around 1.5-2 cups of frozen chopped veggies near the end (carrots, peas, green beans and corn). I usually increase the amount of spice (and sometimes just add a dried Italian seasoning mix), and use 1 tablespoon of worcestershire sauce and 1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar for extra flavor. You can also increase the tomato paste for more flavor.

As usual another great recipe by Alton Brown! I made some additions like adding some red wine and nutmeg to the ground meat and I added garlic, herbs and cheese to my mash

Would use a little more meat next time. Otherwise delicious 😋

I use dried herbs to save money and time, if I can’t find lamb I use lean ground beef. Always turns out great!

I use hamburger instead of lamb and also mix up the vegetables sometimes, such as adding peas.
