Hey everyone, it is me again, Dan, welcome to my recipe site. Today, I’m gonna show you how to make a distinctive dish, shepherd pie. It is one of my favorites food recipes. This time, I’m gonna make it a bit tasty. This is gonna smell and look delicious.

Shepherd pie is one of the most popular of current trending meals in the world. It is easy, it’s fast, it tastes delicious. It is enjoyed by millions daily. They’re fine and they look wonderful. Shepherd pie is something that I have loved my whole life.

Yes, shepherd's pie is predominantly thought of as Irish or British. But since I'm Scottish, I thought I'd give it a unique twist to suit my ancestral tastes. The use of lamb, the smoky, heather taste of Guinness® Draught (Irish, I admit), and the topping of sharp Cheddar and smoked paprika give this version its unique, smoky-sweet flavor.

To begin with this particular recipe, we have to first prepare a few components. You can have shepherd pie using 8 ingredients and 5 steps. Here is how you cook it.

The ingredients needed to make Shepherd pie:

1. Get 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
2. Take 4 cups mashed potatoes
3. Take 2 1/2 cups mixed vegetables
4. Make ready 4 cans refrigerated biscuits
5. Make ready 2 cups brown gravy
6. Get 2 tablespoons salt
7. Prepare 1 tablespoon coarse ground pepper
8. Get 1 tablespoon onion powder

Cover with at least an inch of cold water. 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. 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).

Steps to make Shepherd pie:

1. Line deep baking dish with biscuits. Let them set while doing other steps
2. Brown ground beef. Cook mixed vegetables, adding seasoning. Combine vegetables with ground beef in mixing bowl. Mix.
3. Spoon 1/2 vegetable/meat mixture onto biscuits. Drizzle with 1/2 of gravy. At this time preheat oven to 375 degrees.
4. Add a layer of mashed potatoes, using about 1/3. Add second layer of vegetables/meat and top with gravy. Cover with rest of mashed potatoes.
5. Bake for 15 minutes and then broil for 15 or until potato topping is golden brown.

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. Traditional Irish Shepherd's Pie would actually call for ground lamb. The difference between Shepherd's Pie and Cottage Pie is the meat. Cottage Pie uses ground beef, while Shepherd's Pie uses ground lamb. I called this recipe Shepherd's Pie.
