Recipe courtesy of Rachael Ray
Total: 40 min
Prep: 15 min
Cook: 25 min
Yield: 4 servings
Level: Easy
Ingredients
2 pounds potatoes, such as russet, peeled and cubed
2 tablespoons sour cream or softened cream cheese
1 large egg yolk
1/2 cup cream, for a lighter version substitute vegetable or chicken broth
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, 1 turn of the pan
1 3/4 pounds ground beef or ground lamb
1 carrot, peeled and chopped
1 onion, chopped
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup beef stock or broth
2 teaspoons Worcestershire, eyeball it
1/2 cup frozen peas, a couple of handfuls
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
Directions
Boil potatoes in salted water until tender, about 12 minutes. Drain potatoes and pour them into a bowl. Combine sour cream, egg yolk and cream. Add the cream mixture into potatoes and mash until potatoes are almost smooth.
While potatoes boil, preheat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add oil to hot pan with beef or lamb. Season meat with salt and pepper. Brown and crumble meat for 3 or 4 minutes. If you are using lamb and the pan is fatty, spoon away some of the drippings. Add chopped carrot and onion to the meat. Cook veggies with meat 5 minutes, stirring frequently. In a second small skillet over medium heat cook butter and flour together 2 minutes. Whisk in broth and Worcestershire sauce. Thicken gravy 1 minute. Add gravy to meat and vegetables. Stir in peas.
Preheat broiler to high. Fill a small rectangular casserole with meat and vegetable mixture. Spoon potatoes over meat evenly. Top potatoes with paprika and broil 6 to 8 inches from the heat until potatoes are evenly browned. Top casserole dish with chopped parsley and serve.

I miss the good ol days of Food Network. I stopped watching after it just became a game show channel. I miss Paula Deen the most. OH welllllllllllllllll. I don't watch that channel anymore and that's saying a lot considering at one time, it was the ONLY channel I watched.
Facial? COOL.
I make this it is so yummy good.📼❤👍
Its cottage pie, not authentic at all. Why not try kangaroo?
Does anyone else use corn instead of peas or is it just Me?
My mom used to make Kidney stew in the winter it was great…..
If you are using beef it's not a shepherds pie – it's a cottage pie. That's so!!
to all the negative. no it all comments…….I am poor. been poor most my life…so r most my friends….the average US housewife. uses. grnd beef for this dish….we don't no anything bout all those other ways…..we live it. and Rachael does it good. sometimes I make layers and lits different cheeses
Shepherds pie meant that the pie was filled with lamb mince and cottage pie was filled with beef mince – mince meat was cheap and could be able to feed a large family
Suppose to use lamb
She is in my top 5 favorite chefs…
Shepherd's Pie, simply done!
For goodness sakes people.. it’s her recipe version.. like it or not… where is your cooking show? .. btw, and it’s delicious… I make mine the same way
I'm watching this the day after St. Ptrick's Day 2018. I love this meal. Rachael looks so young, what about the salt over the shoulder for good luck? I thought she'd always did this.
Recipe nearly same as mine. For the potato topping I just use mashed potatos. But hey, this is a pie that can be plated with. My next Shepherds Pie will be to your way. Already know I will love it. ##$$##%% What is that stove/oven you have? Make/model if a company is making them now. If it is an old one I'd stil love to have make/model. Am changing my kitchen and would love to have it all designed around your oven.
That's not Shepherds pie, it's cottage pie
She looks like she'd be a character from "Friends".
Kidney. Still popular in the UK but with steak. Also Shepherds pie is lamb. Shepherds look after sheep! Minced beef is Cottage pie….
You're telling me that this one dish, has red meat, oil, butter, cream, flour, potatoes, 'canned beef-gravy',egg-yolk, sour-cream or cream-cheese, salt, flour, and this is being promoted for human consumption?. Jeeessssh!!!
