Recipe: Perfect My Shepherd's pie

My Shepherd's pie. In a large ovensafe shallow braising pan, heat the canola oil over medium-high heat. Place in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Set over high heat, cover and bring to a boil.

But since I'm Scottish, I thought I'd give it a unique twist to suit my ancestral tastes. The use of lamb, the smoky, heather taste of Guinness® Draught (Irish, I admit), and the topping of sharp Cheddar and smoked paprika give this version its unique, smoky-sweet flavor. Traditionally, shepherd's pie is made with lamb (hence the name). You can cook My Shepherd's pie using 12 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you cook that.

However, as the dish gained wider popularity outside of its native English homeland (where using beef would make this a cottage pie), beef became a common substitute, especially in America where it's more widely available than ground lamb. In a large skillet, cook ground beef until brown over medium-high heat. Stir in mushrooms, mixed vegetables, mushroom soup, celery soup, and salt and pepper; heat through. Pour into prepared baking dish, cover with mashed potatoes, and dot with butter.
