Shepherds Pie Recipe

Cook the Lamb

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and garlic, cooking until softened. Add ground lamb, breaking it apart with a spatula, and cook until browned.

Add Vegetables

Stir in diced carrots and peas, cooking for about 5 minutes until they start to soften.

Simmer the Filling

Pour in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and let cook for another 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Boil Potatoes

In a large pot, boil cubed potatoes until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and return to pot.

Mash the Potatoes

Add butter, milk, salt, and pepper to the potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy.

Add Cheese and Bacon

Fold in shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon until well combined.

Assemble the Shepherd's Pie

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a baking dish, spread the lamb filling evenly, then top with the cheddar bacon mash, smoothing it out.

Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the top is golden brown and bubbling.

Serve

Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Shepherd's Pie!
