I don’t have a video for this recipe.
If I had a photo, I would most certainly use it. That is... unless the photo I have sucks. For now, you'll just have to picture a big heaping helping of
Shepherd's Pie
...in your mind.

Shepherd's Pie

Before anyone (or everyone) shits on me, yes I know that proper Shepherd's pie is made with lamb - and proper Cottage Pie is made with beef. But most people here in the states confuse the two - so sue me. It's still damn good and easy.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 10 ounce package frozen baby peas, defrosted
  • One pound cooked roast beef
  • 6 ounces beef gravy
  • 1 1/2 to 2 cups mashed potatoes
  • One - 2 ounce package ready bacon, chopped fine
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees
  2. Heat large skillet on the stove, add oil and onion and cook until softened, then add peas - combine well
  3. Chop roast beef into a small dice and add to onion mixture with gravy, mix well and heat through
  4. Place beef mixture in bottom of a 9X9 casserole dish
  5. Cook bacon briefly (just to crisp slightly) in the pan that the beef came out of
  6. Add bacon to mashed potatoes - mix well and spoon on top of the beef mixture
  7. Bake about 30 minutes until top browns - serve
