To get started with this particular recipe, we must prepare a few components. You can have ridiculously good shepherd's pie using 19 ingredients and 17 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.

The ingredients needed to make Ridiculously Good Shepherd's Pie:
  1. Get 8 large potatoes, cut into chunks
  2. Get 3 tbsp vegetable oil, for meat
  3. Make ready 1 large onion, minced
  4. Make ready 6 large baby bello mushrooms, minced
  5. Get 1 tsp salt, for meat
  6. Get 1 tsp ground black pepper, for meat
  7. Get 2 lb ground beef
  8. Take 3 tbsp steak sauce
  9. Prepare 3 large eggs
  10. Take 2 tbsp vegetable oil, for veggies
  11. Prepare 1/3 stick butter, for veggies
  12. Make ready 3 large carrots, chopped
  13. Prepare 8 oz corn niblets
  14. Take 8 oz peas
  15. Take 1 tsp salt, for veggies
  16. Take 1 cup milk
  17. Take 1 stick butter, for potatoes
  18. Take 1 tsp salt, for potatoes
  19. Prepare 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, grated

Place in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Set over high heat, cover and bring to a boil. A true shepherd's pie is made with lamb while a cottage pie is made with beef. In the US, I notice that it is often called a shepherd's pie when it really is just a cottage pie.

Instructions to make Ridiculously Good Shepherd's Pie:
  1. In a large pot, boil the potatoes until soft.
  2. In a large saucepan, heat the oil on low.
  3. Add the onion, mushrooms, salt, snd pepper, and cook until translucent.
  4. Add the meat, incorporate, and cook through. NOTE: I used beef but, obviously, ground lamb could also be used, if you can find it at the supermarket. I couldn't when I put this together, but I still called it Shepherd's Pie because, like with Minced Meat Pies no longer having meat in them these days, just about everyone I know makes Shepherd's Pie with beef, so I figured no harm, no foul. If you are pedantic, I could have called this Cottage Pie, but, in the US, I don't think anyone knows what it is. Besides, I figured, who would want to be that guy, right?
  5. Stir in the steak sauce, and let cool.
  6. When cooled, stir in the eggs, and pour the mixture into the bottom of the large casserole. The eggs will firm up the bottom to provide a solid base.
  7. Add the butter, oil, and carrots into the now-empty large saucepan, and simmer on medium until tender.
  8. Add the corn niblets, peas, and salt, and mix and simmer until it's all happy and tender.
  9. Layer the veggies on the meat in the casserole.
  10. Drain, return to the pot, and mash the potatoes on low.
  11. Add butter and salt while mashing. I know, it's a lot of butter, so cut it down to 2/3 stick if you like.
  12. Add the milk to the potatoes. It will be loose at first, but it will firm up a bit while you stir it in a few minutes.
  13. When the potatoes are stackably firm, scoop it on top of the casserole.
  14. Throw it all in the oven at 375°F for 45 minutes.
  15. OK, it will have this beautiful crust after 45min, and you are just going to sprinkle the cheddar over the top.
  16. Broil for about 5 min, keeping an eye on it after 3 minutes to be sure it doesn't burn, to melt the cheese.
  17. Remove from heat and try to let it cool about a half hour before diving in. As can be seen from my pic, I always fail. Enjoy.

Since the type of meat used is the only real difference in this dish, I find most have a version using beef that they call shepherd's pie even if it technically. These shepherd's pie recipes run the range from the traditional (featuring ground or minced lamb) to the modestly modified (ground beef instead of lamb) to the more modern and experimental (vegan or paleo shepherd's pies). You can't go wrong with any of these savory one-pot comfort-food casseroles, complete meals that also feature veggies, a savory gravy, and a mashed potato (or a surprise. So, this is how you spell it: Shepherd's Pie. But, from doing a quick google search, it came to my attention that TONS of people think it's Shepards Pie.
