Hello everybody, hope you are having an amazing day today. Today, I’m gonna show you how to prepare a distinctive dish, shepherd pie. It is one of my favorites food recipes. For mine, I will make it a little bit tasty. This will be really delicious.
Shepherd pie is one of the most popular of recent trending meals on earth. It’s simple, it’s quick, it tastes delicious. It’s appreciated by millions every day. They are fine and they look fantastic. Shepherd pie is something which I’ve loved my whole life.
Yes, shepherd's pie is predominantly thought of as Irish or British. But since I'm Scottish, I thought I'd give it a unique twist to suit my ancestral tastes. The use of lamb, the smoky, heather taste of Guinness® Draught (Irish, I admit), and the topping of sharp Cheddar and smoked paprika give this version its unique, smoky-sweet flavor.
To begin with this particular recipe, we have to prepare a few ingredients. You can cook shepherd pie using 8 ingredients and 5 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.
The ingredients needed to make Shepherd pie:
- Get 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
- Prepare 4 cups mashed potatoes
- Get 2 1/2 cups mixed vegetables
- Get 4 cans refrigerated biscuits
- Prepare 2 cups brown gravy
- Take 2 tablespoons salt
- Make ready 1 tablespoon coarse ground pepper
- Prepare 1 tablespoon onion powder
The sauce is really simple and flavorful, but the best part is the insanely fluffy mashed potato. These shepherd's pie recipes run the range from the traditional (featuring ground or minced lamb) to the modestly modified (ground beef instead of lamb) to the more modern and experimental (vegan or paleo shepherd's pies). Cover with at least an inch of cold water. Traditionally, shepherd's pie is made with lamb (hence the name).
Steps to make Shepherd pie:
- Line deep baking dish with biscuits. Let them set while doing other steps
- Brown ground beef. Cook mixed vegetables, adding seasoning. Combine vegetables with ground beef in mixing bowl. Mix.
- Spoon 1/2 vegetable/meat mixture onto biscuits. Drizzle with 1/2 of gravy. At this time preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Add a layer of mashed potatoes, using about 1/3. Add second layer of vegetables/meat and top with gravy. Cover with rest of mashed potatoes.
- Bake for 15 minutes and then broil for 15 or until potato topping is golden brown.
However, as the dish gained wider popularity outside of its native English homeland (where using beef would make this a cottage pie), beef became a common substitute, especially in America where it's more widely available than ground lamb. Traditional Irish Shepherd's Pie would actually call for ground lamb. The difference between Shepherd's Pie and Cottage Pie is the meat. Cottage Pie uses ground beef, while Shepherd's Pie uses ground lamb. I called this recipe Shepherd's Pie.
