Shepherd\u2019s Pie (also known as cottage pie) is one of those recipes that has taken on a lot of forms over the past several decades, and what you put in it probably depends on where you live.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes casseroles like Shepherd\u2019s Pie get a bad rep, but this recipe is loaded with flavor (I like my beef nice and saucy!), and topped with the <em>creamiest<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/mashed-potatoes-recipe\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">mashed potatoes<\/a>. You\u2019ll forget about every other lackluster casserole you\u2019ve had!<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ingredients-you-ll-need\">Ingredients You\u2019ll Need<\/h2>\n<p>Originally, Shepherd\u2019s Pie was made with ground lamb, but the Americanized version usually swaps the lamb for ground beef (although if you really want, can use lamb instead!). This here is the way we like it: a nice, rich-tasting sauce with ground beef and plenty of vegetables, topped with creamy, buttery mashed potatoes. I know you\u2019ll love it, too!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Carrots, Celery, and Onion:<\/strong>\u00a0These chopped veggies add flavor, texture, and nutrients to the meat filling.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ground Beef:<\/strong>\u00a0This is the main protein source in the pie. I used lean ground beef! You can also use ground lamb for a more traditional version.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Garlic:<\/strong>\u00a0For a savory punch of flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tomato Paste:<\/strong>\u00a0Adds richness and flavor to the meat filling.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Worcestershire Sauce:<\/strong>\u00a0So your Shepherd\u2019s Pie has an extra boost of flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Beef Broth:<\/strong>\u00a0This forms the base of the gravy, adding moisture and flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cornstarch:<\/strong>\u00a0This helps create a slightly thickened gravy for the filling.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dried Herbs:<\/strong>\u00a0I used thyme, oregano, and parsley.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Salt and Pepper:<\/strong>\u00a0Add to taste!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Frozen Peas:<\/strong>\u00a0These add pops of sweetness, color, and texture to the Shepherd\u2019s pie filling.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-mashed-potatoes\"><strong>Mashed Potatoes:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Potatoes:<\/strong>\u00a0Russet or golden potatoes are perfect for mashing due to their high starch content. This creates a creamy texture.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Butter:<\/strong>\u00a0Adds richness and creaminess to the mashed potatoes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Half and Half:<\/strong>\u00a0For extra creaminess!<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.target.com\/p\/boursin-garlic-and-herb-puck-cheese-5-2oz\/-\/A-48327725#lnk=sametab\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Boursin Cheese<\/a> (Garlic and Fine Herbs Flavor):<\/strong> This soft cheese infuses the mashed potatoes with delicious garlic and herb flavors.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Salt and Pepper:<\/strong>\u00a0Adjust to taste.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" data-id=\"251441\" src=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/shephards-pie-5-1-1200x800.jpg\" alt=\"Sauteeing the beef and vegetables.\" class=\"wp-image-251441\" title=\"Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
