Shepherd’s Pie is a classic comfort dish made with seasoned ground meat, vegetables, and a rich gravy, topped with creamy mashed potatoes and baked until golden. Below is a detailed step-by-step recipe for making a delicious Shepherd’s Pie from scratch. Ingredients For the Meat Filling: 2 tbsp olive oil 1 medium onion, finely chopped 2 cloves garlic, minced 2 medium carrots, diced 1 celery stalk, diced 1 lb (450g) ground lamb (for traditional Shepherd’s Pie) or ground beef (for Cottage Pie) 2 tbsp tomato paste 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce 1 cup beef broth (or chicken broth) ½ cup frozen peas ½ cup frozen corn (optional) 1 tsp fresh thyme (or ½ tsp dried thyme) 1 tsp fresh rosemary (or ½ tsp dried rosemary) 1 tsp salt (adjust to taste) ½ tsp black pepper ½ tsp paprika (optional, for extra depth of flavor) 1 tbsp flour (to thicken the gravy) For the Mashed Potato Topping: 2 lbs (900g) potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet), peeled and chopped 4 tbsp unsalted butter ½ cup milk or heavy cream ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional) ½ tsp garlic powder (optional) Salt & black pepper to taste Instructions Step 1: Prepare the Mashed Potatoes Peel and chop the potatoes into evenly sized chunks to ensure even cooking. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold salted water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for 15–20 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, milk (or cream), salt, and black pepper. Mash until smooth. Stir in cheddar cheese (if using) and mix well. Set aside while you prepare the meat filling. Step 2: Cook the Meat Filling Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5 minutes until softened. Add the ground lamb (or beef) and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned (about 7 minutes). Stir in tomato paste and Worcestershire sauce; cook for 2 minutes to enhance the flavors. Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir well. This will help thicken the gravy. Pour in the beef broth, stirring constantly, and add thyme, rosemary, salt, pepper, and paprika. Let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes until slightly thickened. Stir in frozen peas and corn, cooking for another 2 minutes. Step 3: Assemble the Shepherd’s Pie Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Transfer the meat filling to a 9x13-inch (or similar size) baking dish and spread it evenly. Spoon the mashed potatoes on top, spreading them carefully to cover the meat mixture completely. Use a fork to create decorative ridges on the potato topping (this helps with browning). If desired, sprinkle extra shredded cheese on top for a golden crust. Step 4: Bake and Serve Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown. If you want extra crispiness, broil the top for 2–3 minutes at the end. Let the Shepherd’s Pie cool for 5–10 minutes before serving. Tips for the Best Shepherd’s Pie Use lamb for authenticity. Shepherd’s Pie traditionally uses lamb, while Cottage Pie uses beef. For extra richness, add a splash of red wine to the meat filling while it simmers. Make ahead: You can assemble the pie a day in advance, refrigerate it, and bake when ready. For a lighter version, use sweet potatoes or cauliflower mash instead of regular mashed potatoes. Enjoy your homemade Shepherd’s Pie!
