Shepherd's Pie An Englishman’s Recipe
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 чер 2024
- Shepherd's Pie is a traditional British dish with a rich history and a beloved comfort food for many. It's known for its savoury lamb meat filling and creamy mashed potato topping.
Shepherd's Pie originated in the United Kingdom and Ireland. The dish was a practical solution for using leftover roasted meat. Initially referred to as "Cottage Pie" when made with beef, the term "Shepherd's Pie" began to be used when the dish was made with lamb or mutton, reflecting the shepherd's connection to sheep.
The base of Shepherd's Pie is typically made with ground lamb, cooked with onions, garlic, and sometimes vegetables such as peas, carrots, and corn. The flavour is enriched with broth, tomato paste, and Worcestershire sauce, and it's seasoned with herbs like rosemary and thyme. The dish is topped with a layer of mashed potatoes, which may be garnished with cheese before baking for a golden crust.
The dish is assembled by placing the meat mixture in a baking dish, covering it with the mashed potatoes, and baking it in the oven until the top is golden and crispy. This method ensures the flavors meld beautifully, and the topping gets a delightful texture.
Shepherd's Pie is a staple in British and Irish cooking, often served in homes and pubs. It's particularly appreciated for its comforting qualities and ability to be filling and economical, making it a popular choice for family dinners and gatherings.

That's the real deal if you follow these steps i guarantee it will be the best shepherd's pie you've ever had!
Thank you. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChefThank you sir
That looks EXACTLY what I grew up eating😋
This is one of my Best Ones, Instead of chopping up the Vegies, I chop and cook the onion and I use frozen Mixed Vegies you get from the shop, I mix my Beef Stock with Gravox and cook the whole lot slowly for about an Hour, Cover it with Foil, in the Fridge overnight for the next day, put the spuds on top and in the oven, My Mob will bite your arms to get to it,
@@australiafirst520 mate, can't beat good wholesome Aussie or English food. I'll take it any day. 🦘🦘
I love how you cook Rik, no nonsense, no drama, just fabulous food 😊
Thank you. Best, Rik
PROPER, no frills home cooking that we "oldies" have grown up on, ya can't beat it. Cheers Ric and thanks a lot Regards Al ( from Perth West Australia).
You got that right! Thank you. Best, Rik
Cheers to Perth from New Jersey USA. I still remember how good you were to us.
Agree totally! It was a staple here when I was growing up in NSW. I tried making it a few times and failed. Glad to see a simple way of doing it, where it clearly turns out just as a I remember it!
I have lived in Sweden for most of my adult life. I always loved my nan's shepherds pie.
Off to England to visit my mum - shepherds pie must absolutely be put on the menu. Yum - can't wait! ❤
Nice man best food in the world our english food dont care what anyone says
Thank you. Best, Rik
I agree, English food is truly the best.
@@KarenG.-qs7wc Thank you. Best, Rik
France, Spain and Italy beg to differ!
English food is delicious if it's home made. Home made is the key.
Finally....a proper English recipe that gets it right!!! Thank you x
I try!. Thank you. Best, Rik
Absolutely love shepherds pie 😋 and cottage pie 😋 my all time BRITISH 🇬🇧 CLASSICS 🇬🇧👍😋
I might be a heathen but I would miss the cheese on top, with lashings of ketchup.
The best! Thank you. Best, Rik
No worries eat it the way you like. Always taste and adjust. You know what you like, enjoy! Thank you. Best, Rik
In Cincinnati OH every British style pub and there are quite a few, call cottage pie shepards pie, what's wrong with shepards pie? Don't like pees (unless out of the pod) so use diced red pepper for colour never put carrots in but would be cheap and bulk it up thanks.
You may already know but Shepherds pie is lamb and cottage pie is beef. 👍🏻@@DerrickWhittle-mm7jz
You're brealing my heart Rik. You simply can't get real shepherds pie in the US. We've a thousand "British" and "Irish" pubs here and every damn one of them features cottage pie as Shepherds. I've even come across one (you'd better sit down) that uses beef and pork! On;y way is to make is myself when I can get the lamb mince. Lamb in general is hard to come by because Americans have only had overcooked gamey lamb. Cheers!
Wow! I'm in amazement. Many have said Lamb is hard to get hold of. I would have thought Some of the big stores would have it in as frozen. However that could be costly too!. Good luck and thanks for sharing. Thank you. Best, Rik
I never overcook my lamb, but then I know how to cook.
Love the new apron! I love the fact that you encourage people not to stress over exactness of your reciepes, you are atrue cook❤
Thank you. Yes lets keep it simple. Best, Rik
Cottage pie for me tonight I've got some mince beef that needs cooking. Thanks rik you legend 👍🇬🇧
Thank you. Best, Rik
Thank you sir
Love how you always make it to where anyone can make it. Your reassurance makes the difference.
Everyone can cook, we have to keep it simple and still put that meal on the table. Thank you. Best, Rik
My favourite and the best comfort food 😊
Mine too! Thank you. Best, Rik
I am such an idiot for watching cooking videos when I am hungry. This made my stomach hurt. Fantastic Shepherds Pie! British classic, might even be better than my mum used to make.
Thank you. Best, Rik
Good morning from Florida! This is one of our favorites and I’ll be making the pie this weekend. Cheers! 🎉🎉
Hope you enjoy. Thank you. Best, Rik
Enjoy i have family in florida. Love❤ from england
I’m an American but I make shepherds pie exactly as the chef does. It’s my favorite dish. So gooood!
Thank you. Best, Rik
Love how you always make it to where anyone can make it. Your reassurance makes the difference
Everyone can cook, keep it simple. Thank you. Best, Rik
Mince and mashed spuds. My two favourite foods combined 😘👌
Thank you. Best, Rik
Eccles cake are made and that's me thinking now of defrosting beef mince and having cottage pie tonight. 😀
Thank you. You are going to be full. Nice though. Best, Rik
I'm comming round for dinner
@@BackyardChef aye, too full, eyes bigger than ma belly with the eccles cakes. Cottage pie came out looking lovely but it went to a nice neighbour. Nae loss what a friend gets.
@@AdoptAGreyhound59 Always good to share. Thank you. Best, Rik
There is nothing to beat proper English food 😋🇬🇧👏
Thank you. Best, Rik
14:15 -- It looks so delicious. I can almost smell it through the screen.
Thank you. Best, Rik
Great stuff Rik. I’ve always found the pretty-much essential thing is the age and fattiness of the sheep involved. Taste-wise (even if not fashion-wise!) fat is GOOD. In my Highland Scottish childhood we all ALWAYS made it out of old-as-possible MUTTON, if that wasn’t available (but it always was), then HOGGET, and never out of relatively ‘tasteless’ lamb. We still stick to our own ‘old’ minced-mutton but SADLY that seems to be getting harder to find in your average butchers. We’ve all always browned the mutton-mince well first before adding the more-tender veg. And isn’t the choice of potatoes important too? They do need to be good and fluffy. As a final thing, out of choice I’d always leave the well-browned (not just ‘beige’) mince and its softened veg to ‘develop’ in the fridge for 3-4 days before adding the ‘ploughed-field’ topping and finishing it in the oven. I like to think that I could tell the difference blindfold! (We often then freeze it before the topping stage too, then defrost it, add the spuds and then into our old-fashioned oven for half an hour or so)
Thank you. Best, Rik
Spectacular, Rick! And easy!! Bravo!!! Because German guests were visiting "Stateside" and wanted to try BISON, which is a VERY LEAN meat, I modified the recipe by adding more butter in the onion/garlic/veg stir! Admittedly, I was in a hurry, because everyone was hungry--I cubed the taties small to boil faster, and hurried the celery, carrots, and peas a bit. But the flavors of all came through, and the carrots and peas were NOT mushy. A total success!! Thank you! And we were obliged to retitle it "Prairie Pie." haha
Thank you. Best, Rik
Comment from hubby: That was so scrummy! What did you do differently? So I explained and said I would thank Rik on his behalf!!! 👏
Love it!! Ha ha ha. I appreciate you sharing that. It was all down to your cooking, brilliant made my day. Thank you. Best, Rik
My stomach wants to abandon me and run away. I think it bought a plane ticket and is headed your way!
Ha ha ha. Thank you. Best, Rik
Coincidentally I just made cottage pie this week, although I must admit that I always refer to it as Shepherds pie. Other than using beef, I make it just as you showed and it is one of my favorites. I have to start calling it its proper name.
Nah, what's in a name - cook and enjoy. Thank you. Best, Rik
Wow. I made this after watching your video. This is the BEST shepherd's pue I've ever tasted. Before tonight, I've always ordered it here in the U.S. restaurants. Well. They just americanized it. But THIS changed my mind on everything! Thank you for this video!
Great to hear! Thank you. Best, Rik
American here and I agree! The best food!
Thank you. Best, Rik
At home I am the only one who likes lamb, so I make cottage pie quite often in winter. Except I do it not only with beef. For an Italian twist I use a mixture of beef and sausage, or even with horse mince and sausage.
I'm coming for dinner! Thank you. Best, Rik
Mmmmmm …. How Yummy! You cook it just like my MUM does! ❤️Thank you 🙏
My pleasure 😊Thank you. Best, Rik
I love Sheppard pie. And I do use lamb. However I cut back the time by using BOB EVANS mashed potatoes plain or with the sour cream type. Outstanding.
Thank you. Best, Rik
Cor blige Rick we grew up eating this one of our favs, this looks gawgus😃👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼when my main oven gives up the ghost I might give one of these ovens a go it's just, which one? The other hysapentia has top and bottom heat which I prefer but you showed us what to do about that on another of your vids Rik. I have to say this oven is so stylish as well as a great oven. Ta very much for another great vid.😃
Thank you. Best, Rik
Proper food, well made & well explained 👍
So nice of you. Thank you. Best, Rik
My mouth is watering! I love Shepherd’s Pie!❤😊
Thank you. Best, Rik
Just made this today. Yet to try it as it’s in the oven for cheese to melt. Thank you for the easy to follow instructions. Xxxx
Hope you enjoy. Thank you. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef it was very tasty clean plates all round. Now to find my next recipe xxxx
@@5168jackie Thank you. Best, Rik
that and fish pie are two of my faves ,well done rick mate.🤤
Cheers, Mate. Thank you. Best, Rik
I make cottage pie because I have never seen lamb here in my supermarket (WV, USA), but I throw in a couple of bay leaves while softening my vegetables for the filling. I take them out before topping with the mashed potatoes.
Sounds great! Thank you. Best, Rik
Shepherds paaaayyyy!! Luv at!! 😂
Thank you. Best, Rik
Mate, your recipes are great and have reached all the way to Tasmania, Australia!! Cheers!!
Rik, thank you so much for making this. I had requested this awhile back, and I can’t wait to make this. Thanks for featuring this recipe.😊
Thank you. Best, Rik
Yummy 😋❤
Thank you. Best, Rik
Just picked up some ground lamb to make this classic recipe 😋
Thank you. Best, Rik
My Grandmother taught me to make "shepherds pie" 75 years ago (hand mincer and all) her SP was made by putting ALL the ingredient through the mincer (much easier for a small child), but now my pies are so similar, well! "please keep the show alive"
Thanks for sharing. Thank you. Best, Rik
Just yesterday I added ground lamb to my grocery list. I will definitely be making a Shepherds pie. I absolutely love a savory cottage pie. Thank you for this wonderful recipe. 💖 from USA.
Hope you enjoy. Thank you. Best, Rik
Classic British grub😊 Works for me. Cheers Rik❤ Beautiful plate of food. Allan&Family
Thank you. Best, Rik
A lovely recipe! One of my favourite dishes. Sometimes I'll add parsnips to it as well. The sweetness and sharpness they add compliment the lamb nicely. That's a very good tip about not 'over mashing' the potatoes. It causes the starches to over develop and makes the potatoes more paste like. Thanks for mentioning the difference between cottage and shephard's pie. In the US many times, they substitute beef and still refer to it as 'shephard's pie'. It is harder to find lamb in some places. If you think about it though, a shephard tends to sheep/lamb not cattle, but I think they use beef for convenience. Cheers mate!
I tried it with left over roast beef, only the once, when I was farming cattle but it was no where near as nice as sheep meat.
Thank you. Best, Rik
Thank you. Best, Rik
@@midgehenderson8127 I agree. About 25 years ago I was in Canada on a business trip and had a Caribou steak with a blueberry compote at a 5 star restaurant. It was very nice, but I mentioned to my father who was a 'gourmand' that I thought it was a little 'gamey' and he said that if everything tasted like beef there would be no point in trying something different.
You’re making me hungry!!😊
Thank you. Best, Rik
That is some hearty dish Rik..
Thank you. Best, Rik
Love it. Thanks Rik.
Thank you. Best, Rik
Nothing like a hearty shepherd's pie on a cool wet evening . So many good memories. Thanks Rik !
Thank you. Best, Rik
Omg Rik I’m always hungry after watching your vlogs. Omg great shepherds pie. Have you got a cookbook out and if not why not. Thanks as always
Not yet one day! Thank you. Best, Rik
Can hardly wait to try this. Rik - I'm wondering - do the English "scoff" at cottage pie since it's not the traditional way to make this? I'm had Shepherd's Pie in a restaurant years ago and LOVED it. Since I pretty much love all things British (I visited there twice in my younger days.) I must make this. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe and showing us how to make it. I LOVE your videos. I also get a laugh out of "chucking" things into bowls. Delightful. God bless.
No many just call it shepherds pie, with beef mince - to me there is no hang ups in any name of a dish - its for those that are a little fussy and want to moan. I'm all about cooking with any ingredient and making it simple for anyone to cook. Yes my terminology is not always on point. I just speak as I think. Thank you. Best, Rik
I don’t care for lamb but I imagine I can simply swap out the lamb for beef. I’ll make cottage pie. Thank you. Love your videos.
Thank you. Yes indeed you can. Best, Rik
Definitely up there with my favourite foods!! Thanks Ric looks good enough to eat… yum. Love the apron.
Thank you. Best, Rik
Wow… just wow…

Thank you. Best, Rik
In NZ we make our Shepherds Pie using left over roast hoggett/wether/ewe. We put the meat through either an old fashioned hand cranked mincer that we screw onto the bench (👍for best results) or through a mincer attachment on a Kenwood or similar. We also put quartered onions through the mincer, catching the juice from the onion and adding some or all of it, back into the minced meat and onion mix. Add Tomato sauce, p &s and top it with fluffy mashed potato, create furrows using a fork for knobs of butter to melt into when its in the oven - makes a lovely crunchy top. Best served with tomato sauce & buttered bread😋 No need for other veg as we've had our 5 plus the day before with the roast😛 That's Real shepherds pie. Anything else is classed as Cottage pie down here.
Thank you. Best, Rik
I love potato pie as i call it, whether Lamb or beef mince, although i prefer beef! All your recipes look delish!
Thank you. Best, Rik
Rik, you have to write a cookbook, and soon. 🙏 ❤
Great idea! Thank you. Best, Rik

That oven looks like a nice piece of kit 👌
Yes it is - I will be cooking with it more. Thank you. Best, Rik
YOU make MY kind of food! I grew up in USA with my mom's version of Shepherd's Pie made with green beans, (YUM!) so that's what I know. My kids grew up with it, also and everyone loves it. I now make it vegetarian with faux beef crumbles -- I guess mine is now called "Sheep Lovers Pie" 🥰
Thank you. Best, Rik
Great recipe, I make one that’s almost identical - but I like to add anchovies
Thank you. Best, Rik
When I was growing up, it was common practice to take the leftover roast from Sunday dinner and put it through a meat grinder (almost all households had one) and that was the basis for shepherd's (cottage) pie. This was the typical Monday dinner. After I grew up, no one had meat grinders anymore, so shepherd's pie was made with store-bought mince. It was never quite the same, but still remains for me a much-loved dish.
Thank you. Best, Rik
