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. 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. In England, the birthplace of this hearty dish, shepherd's pie is most often made with a ground lamb filling.

Instructions to make Shepherd's Pie:
  1. Preheat oven to highest temperature

  3. Sprinkle the meat with the flour and toss to coat, continuing to cook for another minute. Add the tomato paste, chicken broth, Worcestershire, rosemary, thyme, and stir to combine.
  4. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer slowly 10 to 12 minutes until the sauce is thickened. Pour filings into a casserole.
  5. Remove skin and boil potatoes until soft and mash it with the ingredients.
