Easiest Way to Prepare Appetizing Shepherd’s pie (Herders pastei)

Shepherd’s pie (Herders pastei). Yes, shepherd's pie is predominantly thought of as Irish or British. 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.

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 ovensafe shallow braising pan, heat the canola oil over medium-high heat. Shepherd's pie is traditionally made with a ground-lamb filling, but we make ours with ground beef.
