i also can make a Shepherds Pie (classic English meal - so good)

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 pounds of ground lamb (or beef)
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2-3 carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 2-3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups of beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon of tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 cups of mashed potatoes (homemade or store-bought)
Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground lamb (or beef) until it is no longer pink. Add the onion, carrots, and garlic and cook until the vegetables are softened.
  3. Sprinkle the flour over the meat mixture and stir to combine.
  4. Add the beef broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened.
  5. Transfer the meat mixture to a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  6. Spoon the mashed potatoes over the top of the meat mixture, spreading them evenly to cover the entire surface.
  7. Use a fork to create ridges on top of the mashed potatoes, which will help them to brown and become crispy.
  8. Bake the Shepherd's Pie in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the mashed potatoes are golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly.
  9. Let the dish cool for a few minutes before serving.
Tips:

  • If you don't have ground lamb, you can use ground beef instead.
  • You can add additional vegetables to the filling, such as peas, corn, or green beans, depending on your preferences.
  • If you want to make homemade mashed potatoes, boil 4-5 large potatoes until they are soft, then mash them with 1/4 cup of butter, 1/4 cup of milk, and salt and pepper to taste.
Forget all that and just get a Greggs Sausage roll mate.
