This Shepherd’s Pie recipe is a go-to meal for me. It’s easy to make, I usually have most ingredients handy, and the hubs will eat the leftovers. Score!
The recipe is not really a traditional one though. Most traditional Shepherd’s Pies seem to mix all the meat and veggies together. I prefer to separate them. I also top mine with cheese. Who wouldn’t want a little cheese? Cheese makes everything awesome.
To be honest, I’m not a huge fan of the traditional pies I’ve had in restaurants. There’s just something about the way the meat is flavored that I don’t care for. So if you’re looking for a traditional recipe, this won’t be it. But if you like a good combo of meat, worcestershire sauce, potatoes, peas and cheese and you like easy to put together, this would be for you.
So here it is! I hope you like it! Let me know what you think in the comments!

What a lovely site and great recipes! But thought you might want to know that this recipe is for cottage pie. Shepherd’s pie is made with lamb, thus the name.
Can’t wait to try this recipe! I love S. Pie!! Just a note: your titles in light blue are hard to read. Make them darker. Thanks!
Get at me! I love Shepherd’s Pie AND their leftovers!!! I cook mine pretty much exactly like yours, except I add a gravy to the meat mix (from a packet of gravy mix), add corn (and sometimes lima beans) to the veggies, and then real potatoes, but basically everything else is the same and it’s super delicious! Two thumbs up to this recipe and dish sister!! 🙂 🙂 🙂
