Traditionally, shepherd's pie is made with lamb (hence the name). 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. The "traditional" Shepherds Pie was made with minced lamb because that was abundantly available, England didn't have lots of cows but there were plenty of sheep. My mom was British, I was born and lived in England, but when we moved to America even my mom made it with beef and still called it Shepherds pie.
Steps to make Shepherds Pie:
- Lamb broth when I would cook lamb I saved the bones and trimmings by freezing in a ziploc bag
- I boil all the ingredients for lamb broth in a pot till the trimmings are done. Skim the gray foam from top discard all the broth is usable. Discard bones and trimmings
- Preheat oven 275° Fahrenheit

- Mix the lamb, carrots, melted butter, cornstarch, onions and celery. Add spices and broth.
- Put into a casserole dish slow cook in oven 2 hours
- Peel the potatoes chop them up cover with water and boil
- When done add milk a little at the time add salt and butter mash but leave lumpy you may not need all the milk you want to leave stiff
- When filling is done drain any liquids, if any. Turn heat on oven up to 400°Fahrenheit
- Gently add potatoes smooth out then take your fork creating grooves in the potatoes bake about 30 minutes till potatoes are crisp remove from heat let sit 15 minutes enjoy
