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.
Steps to make Shepherd's Pie:
- Preheat oven to highest temperature
- Heat the pan with oil in medium high heat. Cook onion and carrots approximately 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic saute awhile, then add meat, salt, pepper and cook until browned, approximately 3 minutes.
