Is a comfort food dinner,is time consuming too make,for you don't just cook the minced beef in beef Gravy with onions and you don't just make the mashed potatoes.For the cooked beef mince in Gravy needs to go into the bottom of a baking Casserole Tin and then you place the mash potato over the top and then bake in the oven for a thickening of the beef mince Gravy and a crispy mashed potato top.A Shepherds Pie uses Lamb mince with a Lamb Gravy.
