Shepherd’s pie 🥧🥔
Pure comfort food—savory, cozy, “just one more bite” energy.
What it is (classic):
- Ground lamb (beef makes it cottage pie, but we won’t fight today 😄)
- Onion, carrots, peas
- Rich gravy with Worcestershire + herbs
- Fluffy mashed potatoes baked on top till golden
Basic flow:
- Brown meat with onions and garlic.
- Add carrots, peas, tomato paste, Worcestershire, thyme.
- Splash of broth → simmer till thick.
- Spread in a dish, top with mash.
- Bake until bubbling, broil for crispy peaks.
Next-level touches:
- Cheddar or parmesan in the potatoes
- Butter + egg yolk in the mash for extra richness
- Fork the top for crunchy ridges
Serve with:
Green beans, crusty bread, or honestly… just a big spoon.
