    Should be noted, that like with almost all stews, this tasted several times more incredible the next day as the flavors sat and developed overnight. This made a wonderful St. Patty's day dinner, but the little slice I heated up with an over easy egg on top the next morning was several degrees more intense of a flavor bomb. ;D

      Pro tip: If you clean up as you go, then the final cleanup should be a breeze.
      For example, use the time when the onion is cooking to wash up the knife and cutting board you just used (if you're not gonna use them again that is).
      All these and more I picked up from watching SORTEDfood.

      He should still be crucified! The biggest difference between shepherds and cottage pie isn't the meat it's how the potatoes are! Cottage pie is topped with sliced potatoes to mimic a thatched roof and shepherds is mash to make it like a sheep hence shepherd. Obviously the meat is supposed to be how he says but almost everyone has both with beef as lamb is expensive an shepherds/cottage pie should be and inexpensive family meal.

      Well, frozen peas are better. They're "fresher" because they're often frozen in origin, conserving their original taste and consistency, whereas "fresh" peas have a whole lot of travelling and withering to do before being bought and used.

      You can absolutely leave the cheese out of this, I am English and have grown up on shepherds pie and cottage pie and never once has any family member or any restaurant I’ve had it in put cheese in the mash. If you were making roast lamb leg with roast potatoes you wouldn’t add cheese similar with a joint of beef ? Why is it so bad to leave out the cheese in this ? Mashed potatoes if you do them right don’t require any cheese. Just add a good amount of butter and you will be fine or if you need more dairy add milk but for a shepherds or cottage pie I would never add cheese.
