Best Classic Shepherd’s Pie Recipe

I always double this recipe! I use 1 lb of ground sirloin and 1 lb of ground lamb. I use less broth, so that the meat mixture is not runny. I also, use less butter and half & half (or heavy cream) so that the mashed potatoes are more firm.

Absolutely favourite Shepherd's pie recipe. We use vegetarian mince (vivera) instead so we omit the flour and add a couple spoonfuls of bistro at the end to give it that rich flavour.

Takes a bit of time to prepare, but it is delicious. Even my picky four year old eats it! Used heavy cream because I didn’t have half and half and it ended up holding its shape once on the plate.

I used marsala to deglaze and mix broth and mushrooms and doubled the Worcester sauce
