It’s like Shepherds Pie (which is made with ground lamb) but made with ground beef. Enough here for 2 casseroles - one for tonight and one to freeze for a later date. There are some cheats - I use Costco mashed potatoes (doctored up) for the topping but feel free to use fresh mashed potatoes. I grew up eating this in England and this is the closest thing to my moms recipe as I have been able to get. Jenny Saviano -

Here is my spin on the classic Shepherd's Pie... Well really Cottage Pie, because it has ground beef instead of ground lamb... And I decided to be a little creative and use purple potatoes instead of the traditional Yukon potatoes. This is one of my favorite dishes! 😄 LaTrā Guerra -

I always called this shepherd’s pie but technically it’s not shepherd’s pie because there’s no lamb in it. This is my version of cottage pie with ground beef, sausage, and vegetables. I serve it in individual ramekins that are deep, topped with my homemade mashed potatoes but it can be put into one dish and then served in individual portions. fenway -

This recipe cures all those feels. Hearty and savory, this cottage pie will stick to your ribs and keep you feeling full, all while being full of veggies and the richest gravy. Pasta Patrick -

This is the other Irish dish for St. Paddy's Day that I was talking about. Well, technically, not really an Irish dish tho. I don't eat lamb (I am using chicken), so to call this a Shepard's Pie is like putting pineapples on pizzas. I definitely do not wanna offend any Irish people. Anyway, this recipe is inspired by the wonderful Gizzi Erskine. Pls, pardon my bad photoshoot as it starting pouring with dim lighting and you know how much I depend on natural lighting.I am not a fan of pie pastry crust, which is the reason why you hardly find any pie recipe on this webbie. But there is something wonderful about the pies in the U.K.; mashed potatoes are used as some sort of crusts. How wonderful is that? And what Gizzi did really blew my mind; she used cauliflower mashed instead! We know how "heavy" mashed potatoes are. And cauliflower mashed adds that sorta lightness as well as some floral aromatics to the dish. That ras el hanout really gives the whole dish an extra omph. So, kudos Gizzi!I am using lots of carrots, mushrooms and leeks for this pie. The finely blitz mushrooms add an extra ooey texture as well as an umami note to the dish. You can change the vegetables around. Onions, celery, squash and parsnips are really a great alternative combination. You can of cos use lamb of cos and call this shepherd's pie too. I actually intended to create an elegant slice of this pie, and I almost forgot that this is a hearty rustic dish that doesn't need any artsy plating. Daniel Lim -
