Method

Preparation of Filling

  1. 1

    Cook the Vegetables

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground bison and cook until browned. Add the zucchini, carrots, yellow squash, and green peas. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

  2. 2

    Add Liquids

    Pour in the Scottish Ale and beef broth. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for 10 minutes until the liquid reduces slightly. Season with salt and pepper.

Preparation of Mashed Potatoes

  1. 3

    Boil the Potatoes

    In a large pot, boil the red potatoes until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to pot.

  2. 4

    Make Mashed Potatoes

    Add roasted garlic, butter, and milk to the potatoes. Mash until creamy and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Assembly and Baking

  1. 5

    Layer the Shepherd’s Pie

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a baking dish, spread the bison and vegetable mixture evenly. Top with a generous layer of roasted garlic mashed potatoes.

  2. 6

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the top is golden and crispy.
