Well, buddy, for a bang-on shepherd's pie, you gotta have minced meat (traditionally lamb), veggies like carrots, peas, and onions cooked in gravy, all topped with creamy mashed potatoes.

Actually it's a simple recipe. Shepherd's pie typically consists of minced meat (traditionally lamb or mutton), mixed vegetables (such as peas, carrots, and corn), and topped with mashed potatoes.

I think shepherd's pie typically includes ground meat, like lamb or beef, though , topped with mashed potatoes and sometimes vegetables like peas and carrots.

Shepherd's pie is such a classic comfort food, isn't it? Traditionally, it consists of minced meat (usually lamb or beef) cooked with onions, carrots, peas, and sometimes other veggies like corn or celery, all topped with a generous layer of creamy mashed potatoes. The key to a delicious shepherd's pie is the flavorful filling, which often includes a savory gravy or sauce to tie everything together. Some folks like to add Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, or herbs like thyme and rosemary for extra depth of flavor. It's a versatile dish, so feel free to get creative and customize it to your taste preferences! Enjoy your baking adventure!
