class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">This recipe can be made ahead and refrigerated until ready to bake, or baked on the day you make it. You can make this from start to finish in about 45 minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This perfect comfort food dish is a rich beef filling, topped with creamy <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kyleecooks.com\/mashed-potatoes-recipe\/\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"mashed potatoes\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">mashed potatoes<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This not a traditional Shepherd&rsquo;s Pie, because it uses <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kyleecooks.com\/beef-cheese-phyllo-pies\/\" rel=\"noopener\">ground beef<\/a>. The original recipe for this uses ground lamb (hence the name &ldquo;Shepherd&rdquo;). This is technically Cottage Pie.

I am a 3rd generation New Zealander but my grandparents\/great grandparents descend from Scotland (and northern England) &ndash; where Shepherd&rsquo;s Pie originated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I remember my mother repurposing the leftover roast beef from Sunday dinner, and making a whole different dinner for Monday night. My brother and I both hated eating the same meal 2 nights in a row, so this is how my clever Mum fooled us! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a mother myself now, I especially like this because it&rsquo;s a one-dish dinner that feeds the hungry husband, the boys and me with no complaints.&nbsp;<em>Like complaints are even accepted at my house anyway.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For another easy one-pot dinner idea, try <a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kyleecooks.com\/american-goulash\/\">American Goulash<\/a>, a similarly hearty beef and pasta dish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-23441af8 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-100 has-icon has-icon-before has-icon-thumbtack\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-align-center wp-element-button external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/41799102781792475\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pin this recipe for later!<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kyleecooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Shepherds-Pie-42.jpg\" alt=\"slice of shepherd's pie on a white plate\" class=\"wp-image-42885\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kyleecooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Shepherds-Pie-42.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.kyleecooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Shepherds-Pie-42-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.kyleecooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Shepherds-Pie-42-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.kyleecooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Shepherds-Pie-42-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kyleecooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Shepherds-Pie-42-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.kyleecooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Shepherds-Pie-42-40x60.jpg 40w, https:\/\/www.kyleecooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Shepherds-Pie-42-340x510.jpg 340w, https:\/\/www.kyleecooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Shepherds-Pie-42-250x375.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.kyleecooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Shepherds-Pie-42-210x315.jpg 210w, https:\/\/www.kyleecooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Shepherds-Pie-42-155x233.jpg 155w, https:\/\/www.kyleecooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Shepherds-Pie-42-120x180.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.kyleecooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Shepherds-Pie-42-150x225.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.kyleecooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Shepherds-Pie-42.jpg\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-877c468d wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group flex-shrink-0 desktop-margin-left-60-negative has-base-alt-background-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-80fb368b wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"border-radius:100%;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kyleecooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/question-solid.svg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-62660\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1;object-fit:contain;width:20px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.kyleecooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/question-solid.svg\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-frequently-asked-questions\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><details class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1644963592306\"><summary><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Shepherds_Pie\"><\/span><strong>What is Shepherd&rsquo;s Pie?<\/strong>&nbsp; <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><\/summary> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">It&rsquo;s a casserole, essentially.

If you are gluten-free &ndash; you can use <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2YOdwt3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" class=\"external\">tamari<\/a> and the<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/31iMUBY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" class=\"external\"> Lea &amp; Perrins brand of Worcestershire Sauce<\/a><\/div><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><div><strong>Dried Thyme. <\/strong>This can be subbed for fresh thyme, but you will need more than you would if you used dried. Rosemary is also pretty good in this recipe.<\/div><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><div><strong><strong>Beef Stock. <\/strong><\/strong>I use an unsalted stock. If you use salted, watch your seasoning and taste test to make sure it&rsquo;s not over salty or super bland! I regularly use <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" title=\"chicken stock\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kyleecooks.com\/diy-chicken-stock\/\" rel=\"noopener\">chicken stock<\/a> or vegetable broth instead of beef broth\/stock.<\/div><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><div><strong>Frozen Peas. <\/strong>You can sub in mixed vegetables, or use beans, or corn. Whatever you have, is going to be awesome.<\/div><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><div><strong>Corn starch &amp; Water<\/strong>. This is used for thickening the gravy. Mix it together to make a slurry<\/div><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><div><strong>Potatoes. <\/strong>I like Russet potatoes or Yukon golds for this.<\/div><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><div>Salt and Pepper.
