Regardless of what you call it, a shepherd's pie is basically a casserole with a layer of cooked meat and vegetables, topped with mashed potatoes, and baked in the oven until the mashed potatoes are well browned. Shepherd's pie is traditionally made with a ground-lamb filling, but we make ours with ground beef. The sauce is really simple and flavorful, but the best part is the insanely fluffy mashed potato. So, this is how you spell it: Shepherd's Pie.
Instructions to make Baked Shepherd's Pie:
- Peel the potatoes, cut into fourths, and boil.
- Finely chop the onions, and sauté in a pan coated with vegetable oil (not listed, about 1 teaspoon) until they become transparent.
- Add the ground meat, cook until it changes color, add salt, soy sauce, pepper, and nutmeg and sauté some more.
- Once the potatoes are cooked through, drain, season with salt and pepper, and mash.
- Once they are pretty well mashed, add milk and mix thoroughly (Adjust the firmness to your liking with milk). Taste, and add more salt if needed.
- Put half of the mashed potatoes into a casserole dish, and spread it out evenly.
- Add all of the ground meat from step 3, and top with cheese.
- Divide the remaining mashed potatoes into 3 equal portions and scatter on top.
- Press it out evenly with plastic wrap.
- Coat it with whisked egg; use a fork to make a pattern, and cook at 480°F/250°C for 15 minutes, and then at 570°F/300°C for another 5-6 minutes.
- You are done once it turns golden brown!
- *If you are having trouble getting it to turn golden brown, I have a little trick… Mix 1 teaspoon of Mirin in with the whisked eggs and coat, and it will turn golden brown easily.
- **If you don't have Mirin, then bake at 570°F/300°C from the start until it browns, and then reduce the heat.
But, from doing a quick google search, it came to my attention that TONS of people think it's Shepards Pie. Traditional Irish Shepherd's Pie would actually call for ground lamb. The difference between Shepherd's Pie and Cottage Pie is the meat. Most recipes for any Shepherd's Pie say use beef or lamb. That said, I made this version because it was fast and easy and I didn't have time for a more complicated recipe.
