Question: Provide me with the best (easy & delicious) shepherds pie recipe.
Sure, here's a simple yet delicious shepherd's pie recipe for you. Please note, traditional shepherd's pie is made with lamb. If you prefer to use beef, it's technically "Cottage Pie". Ingredients: - 1 lb ground lamb - 1 medium onion, finely chopped - 2 carrots, chopped - 2 cloves of garlic, minced - 1 cup frozen peas - 2 tablespoons flour - 2 tablespoons tomato paste - 1 cup beef or chicken broth - 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce - 1 teaspoon rosemary leaves, chopped - 1 teaspoon thyme leaves, chopped - Salt and pepper to taste - 2 lbs potatoes, peeled and chopped - 1/2 cup milk - 4 tablespoons butter - 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese Instructions: 1. Start by boiling your potatoes in salted water until tender. This usually takes about 15-20 minutes depending on the size of your potato chunks. 2. While your potatoes are boiling, heat some oil in a large skillet and add your onion, carrots, and garlic. Stir occasionally until they begin to soften. 3. Add the ground lamb to your skillet and break it up with your spoon or spatula. Cook it until it's no longer pink. 4. Sprinkle the flour over your lamb and vegetables in the skillet, stirring it in until you can't see it anymore. Then, add your tomato paste, broth, Worcestershire sauce, rosemary, thyme, peas and season with salt and pepper. Let everything simmer together for about 10 minutes. 5. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). 6. Now your potatoes should be done, drain them and add the milk and butter. Mash them until they're as smooth as you'd like them. Season with salt and pepper as desired. 7. Pour your meat and vegetable mixture into a 2 quart casserole dish and spread your mashed potatoes over the top. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top. 8. Bake your shepherd's pie in your preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on top. 9. Allow to cool slightly before serving, and enjoy! This is a fairly simple recipe that doesn't require a lot of hands-on time. Plus, it's comforting and absolutely delicious!
