Best cottage/shepherd’s pie recipe I’ve made so far! I highly recommend using lamb if you like lamb.
Very good. I used beef and extra stock. I also baked it in my cast iron skillet. Will make again.
Excellent dish. Easy to make. Great comfort food for a cold day.
This was really yummy, although I did make some adjustments because of our personal tastes and what I had on hand. I omitted the Italian seasoning, because that just sounded odd to me for this combination of foods. I added broccoli slaw that I chopped into shorter pieces to get in more veggies. And I forgot the brown sugar! I used ground turkey, but still used the beef broth, so the flavor was wonderful and pretty familiar. And I cut back on the cheese because of my husband's wishes--just sprinkled some on top when I took it out of the oven. In other words, you can see that this recipe adapts easily to your family's wishes. I made significant changes, and yet I stuck to the general quantities and method, and it turned out perfectly.
This is very tasty (although I am not crazy about the rosemary in the Italian seasoning). My husband and I both enjoyed it.
this is cottage pie if made with beef,if it is made with lamb it is shepherds pie
love, love, LOVE this version of shepherds pie!!
This was fantastic. A nice comfort food for a cold day.
This is a delicious pie. Takes a bit of time to make but the flavour is great.
