There’s nothing like classic shepherd’s pie for dinner. Typically made with minced meat, gravy, vegetables, and topped with mashed potatoes, this hearty recipe has been a go-to comfort meal since the 1870s. The traditional shepherd’s pie recipe is made with lamb (thus the name ‘shepherd’s pie’), if it’s made with beef it is called cottage pie. While we love cottage pie, there’s just something about traditional shepherd’s pie that can’t be beat. Check out these shepherd’s pie recipes that have us drooling.
