Shepherd's Pie

Make this and your family will love you.....I promise! Seasoned ground beef with peas and carrots with a topping of Yukon Gold mashed potatoes. What more can I say. This is a one dish meal that pleases everyone.

The recipe comes from Food Network chef Danny Boome.


Speaking of Food Network, check out the website, VickyandJen.com, a podcast and family resource site. They have a podcast series called Ask-a-Chef that feature interviews with various Food Network celebrity chefs and other chefs as well. VickyandJen.com have recipes, activities for kids and a blog in addition to their podcasts. It's a really neat website, so stop by and take a look.

Now, back to my Shepherd's Pie.


Look what's underneath that mountain of potatoes.....peek-a-boo, I see you!

Who wants a bite?

Enjoy!

Mom's Cooking Club Lesson: Per Wikipedia, the term Shepherd's Pie, also called Cottage Pie, dates back to the 1870's. Early cookbooks show that Shepherd's Pie was made using leftover roasted meat with a bottom and top crust of mashed potatoes. With a recipe dating that far back, you know it's going to be a great comfort meal.

I have never made shepherd's pie. I have a mashed potato lover who I think would love this! Thanks!

I'm a new visitor and just had to say 'Hi!'... I love the idea of including a lesson at the end of your posts. Now I have to go back and look at all the great ones I have missed! :)

I'm a huge fan of Shepherd's Pie -- anything topped with mashed potatoes makes my family happy -- AND I'm a huge fan of Vicky & Jen (their podcast is terrific). I've been a guest on their show a few times, and they are pros all the way!

Jamie, this looks wonderful. Grumpy loves Shepherds pie and I have only made it once. Your recipe looks much better than the one I have made - so yours is getting bookmarked and I am going to make it soon!

Shepherd's Pie is one of my favorite comfort foods but one that I haven't made in quite a long time. You've inspired me to include it on our menu soon.

You have a fantastic blog. I look forward to coming back and browsing around again.
