Shepherd’s Pie Recipe

Shepherd’s pie is basically a casserole with a layer of cooked meat and vegetables, topped with mashed potatoes, and baked in the oven until the mashed potatoes are well browned.

In modern British English, the dish is usually called “cottage pie” if it is made with beef. If it is made with lamb it is usually called “shepherd’s pie”

In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil.

Add ground beef, season generously with salt and pepper, and cook until no longer pink for 5 minutes more. Drain fat.

Stir in frozen peas and corn and cook until warmed through for 3 minutes more.

Sprinkle meat with flour and stir to evenly distribute. Cook 1 minute more and add chicken broth. Let mixture thicken slightly for 5 minutes.

Top beef mixture with an even layer of mashed potatoes and bake until there is very little liquid visible and mashed potatoes are golden for about 20 minutes.
