Here in the states we are more of a beef eating culture than a lamb eating one, and when one is served "shepherd's pie" here, it is most often made with ground beef. I recently purchased a whole lamb from a local rancher (A Land of Grass) and the Baby boy has been begging for Shepherd's Pie. That's when it hit me, make Shepherd's pie, stuff it into a pepper and top them with the mashed potatoes. They almost look like cupcakes with the way you piped on the potatoe.

Shepherd's Pie Stuffed Peppers instructions

3. Add the frozen corn and peas,then Add tomato paste and stir together to incorporate, then add the cornstarch and mix..
4. Add worcestershire and beef broth and mix together until mixture thickens a bit. (Add salt and pepper if needed).
5. Stuff the bell pepper with meat mixture, top with mashed potatoes and sprinkle top with cheese..
6. Place on baking sheet and bake in 400°F oven for 15 min, the place under broiler for 3 min to brown tops. Enjoy! 😉😊.

Spread mashed potatoes over veggies evenly, gently drag fork over potatoes if desired, then top with shredded cheese. Spoon an equal amount of the mixture into each hollowed pepper. Mix the remaining tomato sauce and Italian seasoning in a bowl, and pour over the stuffed peppers. If you are using lamb and the pan is fatty, spoon away some of the drippings. Add chopped carrot and onion to the meat.
