Have you heard of shepherd’s pie? This dish originates from Great Britain. It contains two layers, originally lamb (hence the reference to the shepherd) mixed with a few veggies and a layer of mashed potatoes. This is then baked in the oven and some cheddar melted and browned on the top. This is definitely comfort food and not only delicious in winter. We ate this pie for Easter, I did use minced lamb and mixed it with a bit of minced beef. However, if you make the pie entirely with beef, this would be considered a cottage pie. This pie can easily be made in advance and also freezes nicely. If you freeze it, it will need much longer when baked. I truely enjoy making this in advance all stress-free.
