How Much Ground Beef in Shepherds Pie
In England, the birthplace of this hearty dish, shepherd's pie is most often made with a ground lamb filling. In the States, it's more common to use ground beef. Both are delicious, and lamb can easily be subbed into this recipe following the same instructions.
Can I make this ahead of time?
Yep! You can make the mashed potato topping and the filling up to 2 days in advance. We recommend waiting to assemble until right before baking to help prevent the potatoes from drying out and to keep the layers distinct.
Is there a low-carb version?
Sure is! Check out our Cauliflower Shepherd's Pie for a spud-less, lower-carb version. It's not quite as creamy as this one, but it's quite an impressive approximation, especially if you blend your cauliflower mixture until light and smooth!
Can I use other vegetables?
Totally! Try any of your favorite veggie combinations here and add them in with the onions in step 3. Parsnips and pumpkin are wonderful in the wintertime, or peppers and green beans if it's summer! If they're quick-cooking and super tender, like spinach, you can wait to fold them in at step 4.
How long do leftovers keep?
Kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator, leftovers will keep 3 to 5 days. Large portions can be reheated in a 350° oven for 10 to 15 minutes, or until warm.
