Family favourite shepherds pie
We change this recipe regularly at home depending on what veg and meat/meat substitute we have in the freezer!! This one has half beef mince and half Quorn mince but we've made it 100% meat and 100% Quorn and it works just as well. It's always a fight to see who gets to scrape the crispy bits of the edge when it's all gone!

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Heat the oil in a large pan (oven proof if possible to save on washing up!) Add the veg and cook for 10-15 mins until lovely and soft.
- 2
Add the beef mince and cook for 5 minutes or so until browned. Now add the Quorn mince and cook for a few minutes.
- 3
Sprinkle over the Oxo cube and paprika and stir into the mince. Add the balsamic vinegar and stir again. Add a few tbsps of stock and cook for a minute or two to allow the mince to absorb the flavour.
- 4
Sprinkle over the flour and stir well into the mince mix. Gradually add half of the remaining stock and simmer for a few minutes. The liquid should start to thicken. At this point, add the marmite and the tomato puree and stir again.
- 5
Add a little more of the stock and keep adding until the "gravy" reaches the desired consistency. You may not need all the stock.
- 6
Season the mixture with salt and pepper and take off the heat. If you have time, let the mince mixture and the mash cool a little as it's easier to build the pie when its had time to cool down.
- 7
When ready, pour the mince mix into a large ovenproof dish. Spoon the mashed potato on the top and fluff up with a fork.
- 8
Cook in a preheated oven at 190˚ for about 25-35 minutes. (If you have left the mixture to cool completely beforehand, reduce the heat of the oven to 180˚ and cook for 40 - 45 minutes.)
- 9
Serve with some fresh green veg whilst piping hot. Try not to fall out over the crispy bits!

Shepherd's Pie with Venison Mince Shepherd's Pie with Venison Mince
Shepherd's Pie is a British dish that, despite its name, doesn't use pie crust. It's made by covering a meat sauce simmered in gravy with mashed potatoes and baking it in the oven.A shepherd is someone who herds sheep, and traditionally lamb is used, but this time we used venison mince, which is easy to cook and versatile. 😋The top is crispy and the inside is fluffy mashed potatoes with a hearty meat sauce, making it a perfect dish for cold winter days. 👍💕Leftover sauce can be used to make the American classic "Sloppy Joe" by sandwiching it in burger buns. You can also scoop the sauce with potato chips or enjoy the crunchy texture by eating it in a bun.

We've always loved traditional dishes from the British Isles. I guess it's just in my family's DNA. I followed the traditional shepherd's pie recipes I saw online, but then added a few extra touches to make it my own - and I can honestly say it's one of the best meals I've ever made... and I cook A LOT!

You can mix up the mash by adding parsnips, sweet potatoes or cauliflower. You can also use beef stock instead of red wine, I Iike that extra zinge so I prefer to use red wine instead to simmer the mince in.Some of the ingredients are approximate, I don't really use measures in this recipe as you can add a few things and it'll still taste great. You can add celery and peas to the meat as well.You can also reduce the heat and simmer it on low for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, until the meat has become really soft.

Mince shepherd's pie Mince shepherd's pie
This is a much simpler, straightforward version of shepherd's pie than the one featuring short ribs which I posted ages ago, and can be made in about half the time. Even so, it's still really delicious. During assembly, it may seem like there's a lot of mashed potato. I've been assured by our resident potato monarch (a.k.a. my wife, due to my Asian heritage and the fact that I grew up on rice) that the meat to mash ratio is correct.
