It's very sad if you think this is what "real" looks like. I don't have a problem with this, but it is clearly edited, prepared in advanced, with good cameras and lighting. There's barely anything real there, and that would be the taste tests.

Love when you and your wife interact while filming. It makes the videos "warmer." Great seeing your daughter on this one!

I just have to say how much I like how you keep your videos 'real.' I like the tips, the misses, comments, etc. I'm not a great cook, so I really appreciate all the food chatter. Your 'production staff' is amazing. Taste testers -- same. You've got a very nice channel, and I never miss an upload. Thanks. 🥰 (P.S. Your blog is great, too!)

C Maybe it’s different because cottage pie and shepherds pie are 2 different things. Shepherds pie is made with lamb and cottage pie with beef. After all shepherds look after sheep not cattle. People often get confused over this.

Perfect recipe. My only suggestion to try would be substituting out the parm reg in the mash with dubliners Irish cheddar. Makes SUCH a huge difference in flavor profile and compliments the Guinness incredibly. Love the channel!

sounds disgusting, never heard of anyone putting cheese in shepherds pie! More than enough flavour and fat already. Never heard of tomato or tomato paste or any veg either except for people trying to fool their kids….

I always use leftover roast that I run thru the meat grinder along with left over vegetables. Moisten with left leftover gravy. Spread in casserole and top with leftover mashed potatoes and bake till heated and browned. The best

This has got to be my favorite video of yours! Love the banter, love the conversational style as you talk to the viewer. Truly welcoming and a joy to watch. Keep up the great work, y'all are naturals at this!

My dude!!!I'm from the UK, I've been making cottage pie all my life because I don't like lamb , I always call it Shepards pie for some reason lol I tried ur recipe with lamb because u sold it to me! Buddy the family love it and I absolutely adore it even tho it's lamb!!!! Please keep the recipes coming 100% ! 👍 I'm a subscriber!

“Make sure you don’t have your really good flannel on today” 😂😂 Great video and recipe as always man! I think I’ll be making this tonight!

While you can use raw minced lamb, we normally mince up left over roast lamb. It’s a “leftover” dish, made with leftover mashed potatoes and leftover roast lamb. I’ve never made it with raw minced lamb, but I suspect the flavour profile would be quite different. Also leftover mashed potato has a different texture as it has slightly solidified in the fridge. It seems to crisp up better, with or without cheese on too. I’m from New Zealand and my wife is English and it was always made from leftovers by everyone that we know.

I'm Irish, living in Ireland, and I can assure you, Guinness is stout.

I would love it if you did a live “cook with me.” You could give us the ingredient list ahead of time and then we could all cook the same dish together! 😊♥️

Thanks for the kind words and for watching. Really appreciate that!

I was raised by JOBs in Calgary, (Just off the boats) A Canadian term for recent immigrants. My whole family is from Scotland. This recipe is missing one ingredient that is essential, Nutmeg, that is the secret spice for Shepherds pie. I use 1 1/2 teaspoon. Granny called Shepherd's Pie, or Cottage Pie Larder cleaner. Also I would never use tomatoes, Celts did not use tomatoes, ever they were considered poison.

Thank you, for this recipe. I made it for Father’s Day and it was a complete success.

Man, this was my favourite dinner growing up in England. So many memories of a previous life. Your version is sublime. 👌

FYI baking soda does wonders for browning! 1/4-1/2tsp per pound of meat mixed with 1tbsp of water in a gallon ziploc, add in the meat, mix around, let sit for 15 minutes, then into the pan.

Just found your channel, and I love it ! As an Englishman living in the USA, whenever I hear someone say "Shepherd's Pie" then I'm automatically in hyper-critical mode !!! As soon as you said you were using lamb, then I gave a knowing nod of approval. When you pronounced Worcestershirshsheshire sauce as Wooster sauce, I smiled, and the fact your family knows the difference between Shepherd's Pie & Cottage Pie is just fantastic & respectful. Yes sir, you're doing it right ! This is very close to my recipe. My only changes are NO celery because I hate it, HP sauce with the stock instead of Guinness, and vintage cheddar for the mash instead of Parmesan, because well, I'm English. Like you said also, use your eyes for the meat mix - when it has that lovely silky glossy sheen to it, then it's perfect - and that applies whether you decide to use lamb or beef.

@@finebetty7446 I'm not a fan of cheese on a Shepherds or Cottage pie either. It simply doesn't need it.

It's funny you mentioned the "meat masher." I was just talking to one of my coworkers the other day about cooking and she told me about this tool she just got and how great it is at breaking up ground meat. She shared a link to it with me, and it's exactly the thing you showed! Definitely getting one!

I made this exactly per recipe. I never follow a recipe exactly but I did this time. I split mine into 2 equal size pans, cooked both at the same time, we ate one for dinner froze one for later. This is perfection. We just pulled the frozen one out, thawed partially, into oven @350 until warmed thoroughly. Second dish: perfection. Now one of my families favorites.

I really enjoyed this vid for the contribution of your wife, who you can put in more often as far as Im concerned, and I appreciate your set, the comments about your misses and "adventures". Im a fan. thank you and look forward to the live vids.

When it comes to new ideas or updated classics you always bring your game!! So very happy I found your channel….keep cooking and providing menus/recipes that anyone can successfully make.

Add the veg first with a good slurp of olive oil and a large pinch of salt and then sweat with the lid on for a good 10 mins to give a sofrito. Then add meat and proceed. This gives a sweeter, richer flavour. As per Marcella Hazan’s ragu. I’m British but this is how I make my shepherds pie.

A classic English dish! If you want to caramelise the meat don’t add oil and just place the whole block on the pan and leave it. When caramelised flip it and do the same, before breaking it up. It can also be cooked with classic English bitter/ale. In USA you will probably find IPAs more readily. Or just stock and the purée. Be generous with the Worcestershire. I also add a dash of HP (brown) sauce. Cheddar is better in this dish. Make sure mash is not too loose, people often get that wrong.

Here’s the thing….I grew up on shepherds pie, authentic shepherds pie. Whether you use lamb, beef or other meat, it can NEVER be minced before cooking. Shepherds pie is comprised of leftovers. Meaning it was a leftover roast, not a minced meat. The leftover roast is then ground or finely chopped. Makes all the difference in the world.

Made this for dinner tonight. Cannot believe the depth of flavor. Among the best meals I have made. Will become a regular dish on my table.

Studio ? Part of the charm of sip and feast is that it's done in your own kitchen...like it is when the rest of us cook at home...in a regular kitchen. Then you have your family there and it's all so homey cozy. I feel you would lose the warm intimacy by moving to a studio. Love your show !

What I’m trying to say is that your channel is awesome and keep up the amazing work

Of all the cookbook and KZread Sheppard’s (cottage pie) recipes I’ve made over a lifetime (73 years old), this is by far the best!

I've used my pastry cutter for over 50 years to bread up ground meat while frying. The tool your using my daughter bought me and I found it takes up too much room in the utensil drawer. I lay tomato paste out flat and freeze it in a plastic bag then just break off the amount I need. No waste.

A suggestion for what to do with leftover tomato paste. Lay a substantial piece of plastic wrap on your counter. you’re going to split this in half and then fold one-half over the other. On the 1 Half place dollops of the remaining tomato paste in maybe one or 2 tablespoon increments about 1 1/2 inches apart so that you have maybe four or six or whatever’s left.Then you fold over the other half of the plastic wrap over the dollops and mold the plastic wrap around each dollop and then fold those up and put them in the freezer. When you need a tablespoon full or so of tomato paste you can just either unwrap it and it will come out by itself or you can just cut out a piece out of the wrapping. There ya go! No need to waste the rest... you can also do something similar with an ice cube tray...

I loved to watch this video and found it entertaining. I have developed my own, very similar, quick SP, in which I just cook the meat, veg & seasoning ingredients down in one pan, s quick as I can while I simmer the pots. Mostly I used cold shoulder of lamp I mince myself. Once the pots are done, they're riced into a bowl, creamed & seasoned and then splopped straight onto the pan on top of all the other ingredients - Boof !! 20 mins in the oven and then onto the plate. Oh Yes. What a Feast! Top Tip for you lovely Americans, just call it Wooster sauce - don't worry about trying to get your mouth round Woucestershire... ;-) On the plus side, you are so right - Guinness *is* a stout.

You guys are all great together.god bless

A lot of these non-pro cooks on KZread are more useful to me than pro chefs because they cook in an actual home kitchen, not a carefully prepared studio, and using ingredients that I can find in my grocery store or might already have. Also, they’re usually doing more practical recipes, not fancy showy stuff that looks good on TV.

Thank you Tara and Jim. A truly spectacular recipe, so full of flavor. We fixed it for friends. They had seconds and took some home 😊

I've been making cottage pie lately, but the Guinness addition seemed like an extra AWESOME ingredient to add. I will follow this recipe on my next shepards pie. I was going to make shepards pie last time, but the kids were afraid of lamb. I have fixed that for them, and your recipe looks like it is going to turn out, quite, well... Thank you SaF. 👍

For the ground beef/cottage pie variant, I had a breakthrough a few weeks ago: replace a portion of the Worcestershire sauce with red miso paste, and a squeeze of brown mustard. I dunno if it will work with lamb's unique flavor, but for supermarket ground beef it kicked the recipe up a whole letter grade.

Wonderful. I'm gonna make it.

I make Sheppage Pie. All-Lamb is too gamey for me so I do 1.5-2 lbs of lean beef to 1/2 lb Lamb. My one unusual ingredient is pearl onions. Love the sweetness and its like getting little prizes while you dine. I always spend the ducats for English Cheddar. I also put a small layer of the mash on the bottom of the dish first. Makes it easier to remove servings in one piece. This dish works great with mashed cauliflower too for us low-carbers.

Looks good but... 😊 Towards the last 3 to 5 min add French fried onions on top. GAME CHANGER!!!!

I’ll admit I never would’ve checked your channel for a Shepherds pie recipe but I like that you added your Italian touch w the Parmesan. Way to go! This looked so good I gave it a 10.
