What is Shepherd’s Pie?
Shepherd’s Pie is a classic British dish traditionally made with ground lamb (or beef for cottage pie), vegetables like carrots and peas, and a rich gravy, all topped with creamy mashed potatoes. The casserole is then baked until golden and bubbly. It’s the perfect combination of savory, filling ingredients that’s perfect for colder weather.
