"This recipe has been updated to improve your cooking experience (May 2024). This recipe is cherished by everyone in my family ever since my wife brought her authentic British recipe to our home. It is definitely a favorite among the classics we cook frequently at home. Let this recipe also be a reminder of your coziest moments, like it does for us. You will find the comfort food qualities of a classic lasagna or goulash with this shepherd’s pie for sure. After all, for most of us, it has a way of bringing back your best childhood memories: You’re 8 years old again and just came home from playing with your friends in the street all day, the aromatic smells of this dish is filling the air, a day of adventure is complete with the perfect shepherd’s pie. Life’s good!"

FAQ

Sure! You can either keep it in the fridge for up to 2 days covered tightly, or keep it in the freezer for 2–3 months.

Shepherd’s pie is a delicious dish on its own. We also suggest trying Iceberg wedge salad, Roasted root vegetables, or add even more vegetables with these Grilled vegetables with roasted garlic butter to go with it.
