I think you all get it wrong when it comes to making a Shepherd's Pie

Way, Way back when I was but a lil tacker my Granmama would make Shepherd's Pie on Monday.
Roast Lamb was Sunday tea, the left over Lamb was then put through a manual mincer.
Vegetables were added, plenty of tomato sauce. Topped with mash potato.
This is a true Shepherd's Pie

That's how I remember making it with mum.

We still have a roast on some Sundays and use the leftovers Monday. Chicken often is Risotto, Lamb Hot Pot or curry, Beef a casserole.

You just cant get real Shepherd any more. But you are correct. The leg of lamb was Sunday. The Shepards pie Monday..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman The wellies were often the toughest part

@Lhayezee @gandalf1957 Lets not speculate on why Shepherds wear wellies..😷

I use beef in mine. I had no clue it should be made with lamb
Gusman · 61-69, M
@Cigarguy Traditionally, Sheperd's Pie uses minced, roast lamb.
Cottage pie uses minced roast beef. 🙂
YES! "Topped with mash potato". Not pastry crust.
Gusman · 61-69, M
@rinkydinkydoink Always mashed potatoes.
With a fork drawn in lines across the top. Dobbed with butter.

Nope. You can get it wrong if you have never had nor made it. 🙃

No many even have lamb here.

never heard if tomato sauce in Shepards Pie just rich gravy from the roast

@GivetheDevilHerDue A touch of tomato sauce or tomato paste adds depth to the gravy without overpowering it.😷
