Shepherds Pie

Shepherds Pie is an old English classic main dish that is welcome at the table anytime of the year. The combination of ground beef, worcestershire sauce, mushrooms covered in a buttery mash potato make it a highly desirable dish. Before you ask, there is a difference between “Cottage Pie” and “Shepherd’s Pie”, and it’s the meat that is used. Shepherds pie contains lamb, and Cottage Pie usually applies to one made using beef. They are both divine dishes that are very recommended.  Also serve with seasonal greens for a filling meal that meets the main criteria. They are flavour, aroma, appearance, filling and the smile factor.
