Also from the UK and here cottage pie always uses beef mince / ground beef and shepherds pie uses lamb.

[@WrightFarmhouse]

Grew up in England, and as other's have said, if it's beef, it's cottage pie. My mum used to make a lot of the meat sauce and do cottage pie one night, spaghetti with the meat sauce another night. It is an ideal meal for leftovers, it doesn't have to be the same recipe every time. I love Porter's exclamation, "It's the best!" In the end, that's all that matters.

[@kaleighb1506]

Viewer from the UK here! I have to admit I am wincing at this recipe a little bit 🫣 definitely a very American shepherds pie😂 still, it looks delicious!

[@taz_kempf]

I’m Australian and am wondering where the peas and corn and carrot is. But a Mexican twist does sound yum too.

[@lynneyb2469]

I'm American and wincing at this recipe 😊also. That's not how most Americans would make this dish, but her version apparently. 😮

[@teresacarney5282]

Viewer from the UK, Shepherds Pie uses lamb mincemeat, lamb/ shepherd 😁, like Kaleigh B wincing at the recipe, but an American/ Mexican twist to it sounds absolutely lush ❤️

[@camillecimo2806]

Onions in the fridge!

[@KateH77]

Hi. Looks lovely only it’s a cottage pie not a shepherds pie because shepherds pie contains lamb not beef.

[@ashleykurien7274]

Thank you for sharing! I’m loving the recipes you have put out! Looking forward to hearing about your bread making skills

[@Linda-qw2oe]

Looks so good ! You are so right fresh mashed 🥔 the best !

[@snydfam22]

I always love your cooking videos. Would love to see all your meals for the week!

[@cherylemaybury9967]

I buy frozen chopped onions and they work perfectly. I don’t toss any bad ones, and my eyes don’t hurt. I found it the best solution.

[@michelebadey3883]

JULIE MAKE MORE VLOGS LIKE THIS

[@SusyTH]

I do not put them in a fridge or a cupboard. I do keep them out of the sun and in a single layer normally. If I really do not feel like crying, I sometimes put them in the fridge hours before cutting it. Looks delicious.

[@marleymae6746]

Will have to try this. Looks amazing!

[@nmt0315]

Bob Evans mashed potatoes are an awesome short cut if you didn’t have time! Much better than instant. I’ve never done this with the Mexican spices. Good idea!

[@KalynJewel]

Love the cooking video!! The Mexican kicks in it look amazing! Going to have to try this. Thanks for sharing!!

[@CB-ed7yh]

Dear Julie, your dinner looks amazing! I'll try this recipe for my family! They would like it! Thank you for sharing this with us! You're such a nice person and your family too! Greetings from Germany 🙋🏼

[@kristinalee4087]

I’ve always stored my onions in the refrigerator and have never had a problem. They still make my eyes water but not too bad!

[@navjotbal6904]

Goodmorning Deru Crew family. I usually put my onions in the fridge. Wow the shepherd pie looks amazing and yummy.Thanks for sharing the recipe.😋😋❤️

[@vickytaylor9155]

Another viewer from the uk here. If using beef it is cottage pie. Shepherds pie is made with minced lamb. A cottage pie normally is minced beef, onion, carrots and celery with Worcestershire sauce and beef stock, salt and pepper with a buttery cheesy mash on top. The grated cheese goes on the top, never between the mince and the potatoes. Any other veg should be served on the side. I have seen other American channels do this and call it shepherds pie, and it got thousands of English people complain.

[@debbydavis5342]

This is how I make it and I’m an American! I would call hers a Mexican pie.

[@vickytaylor9155]

@@debbydavis5342 good idea. That is like when I make a version of cottage pie but use pork mince, so I call it piggy pie.

[@kiwias8969]

I’m from New Zealand but live in Australia now and yes shepherd’s pie is made with lamb ( shepherd’s watch their sheep) when beef is used it is a cottage pie. But either way it is delicious 😊

[@Gidget13mwa]

I put our onions in the fridge also! This looked wonderful 😋😋

[@Johnson-hk3cc]

I grew up on Shepherd's pie but have never had it the way you made it.. look delicious..have to try it !! 😋

[@mandyandy360]

I have always out my onions in the fridge. And when I worked at a restaurant we ice bathed the onions prior to slicing and chopping and helped to not make us cry!!!

[@Chell1496]

Hi Julie! Glad you got home safely! Lols like you had a fun trip! ❄️Onions will make your eyes water once the root is cut on the onion. I cut the onion in half and then rinse it in cold water. ❄️ That Shepherds Pie looks so good! I will be trying that!

[@rachelhill7759]

Yum!!!! My mom makes something we call “Surprise Package” which is similar… 1lb cooked ground beef and some diced onions fried, add a large can of sliced carrots and can of tomato soup (don’t add the water to the soup) and top with homemade mashed potatoes. It’s such a comfort food!

[@theresasova223]

I agree, onions should be kept in fridge. They last longer in the fridge.

[@SeoJun-Sara97]

Your pie looks so good. I keep peeled onion and garlic in my fridge. Kept them in a container and I have done this for years. Never had any problem.

[@cadencecaptures3368]

I want to try this! I loved the Julie Cooking Show lol.

[@amystevenson5051]

I love Shepard's our! It's so simple and delicious😁👍🏼

[@sandyc6569]

I have done it with cornbread and yes it is very tasty!!! 😋😋

[@toniedobson7205]

Shepherd's pie is one of my husband's favorite meals to have. It's nice to make it when it very cold out and leftovers are just as good

[@lynetteeaster2918]

Your Sheppard's pie looks delicious I am going to have to try this !!!! I like that everyone of your children were enjoying it!! 😊

[@irisbirman-irisb.7071]

I just finished making your yoghurt recipe and it is SO GOOD!! I made it in my Ninja airfryer on the dehydrater mode. Totally trying out this shepherds pie!

[@daniellerose1114]

Me too! Especially when I get my own place in a few months

[@maryr7256]

I keep my onions in the fridge!! No runny eyes!

[@GimsMarie15]

I follow all your and siblings pages and I love you all Very beauful family I started watching Ellie and jared 6 yrs ago How many kids do you all have?

[@debbiealtman5373]

That Shepard pie looks delicious,

[@inkandpencilstain6146]

This recipe that Julie found does look tasty. However the original creator of the recipe was incorrect in referring to it as a shepherd’s pie. Just like Lasagna, if you begin to omit certain ingredients, and replace them with others, it would no longer be lasagna. Say, if you used salsa in place of the tomato sauce, or Monterey Jack in place of the bechamel, it’s now a completely different recipe.

[@junethompson3291]

I really enjoy you videos

[@missyfisher7579]

Ooh that’s like a taco shepherds pie😋may try it

[@Kay-ql6kd]

It looks more like a taco casserole with mashed potatoes on top. I've done that with tater tots on top and it was real good. My Shepherds pie has the beef and onion mixture with the frozen mixed vegetables on top then the mashed potatoes and a little cheese. Its so good. It's a Pinterest recipe.

[@chloeprint-lambert4750]

That is a cottage pie, shepherds pie is lamb and cottage pie used beef 😊

[@jeniferwendt9207]

This is like a chili shepherds pie, yumm

[@SarahPitcher]

This Shepards pie looks delicious😋

[@taz_kempf]

As someone who lives in sunny Queensland (Australia) I’m also a man onion in the fridge. They don’t last in the pantry.

[@evamarthapacheco]

The star of the video is the huge Bart Simpson cup! Haha love it!

[@JulieDeru]

Hahaha yes!! He still hangs around with us ;)

[@marilynkozlow8400]

I’ve always kept my onions in the fridge. They stay fresher longer and my eyes never water.

[@erinsoper2514]

I love shepherds pie, we eat it alot.

[@AmandaWait]

I too keep the onions in the fridge. It lasts longer.

[@amclaudet]

I love this type of casserole with cornbread instead of potatoes 😋

[@JulieDeru]

I will definitely try that next time

[@MissWilma84]

That's a very American cottage pie recipe as it's made from beef. If you use lamb it's shepherd's pie. Not a traditional recipe for us Brits but the kids loved it so that's good.

[@amybyrne9180]

Hi, we do sherped pie here in ireland

[@racheldodge6560]

Shepherds pie is made with minced lamb. Cottage pie is beef. looks yummy whatever its really called lol

[@sheilajohnson6478]

I’ve always kept my onions in the fridge and they last a long time. Also, when they’re cold, your eyes don’t burn.

[@duckyone20]

Other then the olives( because i don't like em) this looks awesome!

[@cristielb1033]

This looks good! 😋 I love watching yours and Bonnie's cooking videos. You should open a restaurant together because you have some great recipes! You could include your mom too once she is back from her mission because I love watching her cooking videos too! I know you are all busy and probably don't have time for anything like that, but it would he a good idea if you did have time to invest in it! 😊

[@jackiewarner376]

I keep my onions in the fridge. I have always done that.

[@kelleynrothaermel2311]

This is a Mexican Fusion Spederds pie! The traditional version doesn't use corn but peas and has no Mexican seasonings. Wish my kids liked mashed potatoes or I would try this! Actually, you know what this reminds me of is a recipe that my grandma used to make the same ingredients, but for the sauce, you use enchilada sauce and a box of jif cornbread for the topping instead of potatoes.

[@kelleynrothaermel2311]

guess I should have waited till you finished talking because you just said cornbread.

[@anastasiaelece1912]

I always store my onion in the fridge.

[@jo-annewilkinson5663]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@louiseelleningram1639]

Wow your shepherd's pie is so different from what we have in Scotland. Maybe should do a vlog on this as my first one. Does look good.

[@mountfranklincookies9980]

I always put my onions in the fridge.

[@mvjkk79]

Always had questions about onions. I live in the midwest where there's a lot of onions. I always stored in the refrigerator. I've been told from many generations of people that once the onion is cut you throw away the remaining pieces. I guess germs love what is left even in the refrigerator.

[@JulieDeru]

I always put cut up onion in fridge and use within a week or so and it’s great.

[@JuBille]

Dear UK friends, this is a taco casserole, not a shepherd’s pie. In the states, we use the traditional shepherd’s pie recipe too. The Mexican corn, beans, and taco seasoning make this an entirely different dish.

[@JuBille]

And the cheese.

[@JuBille]

Gosh, so many things. The diced tomatoes are an a change as well. It is a taco casserole with potatoes, perhaps inspired by a shepherd’s pie. Thank you for sharing, Julie.

[@neverinamillion4546]

onions iun the fridge are the way to go

[@jillh5739]

Does anyone else make shepherds pie from a left over roast beef meal? I didn’t know people made it not from leftovers 😅

[@charlee284]

6:37 I have never witnessed such aggressive potato peeling before 😲 I hope you didn't hurt yourself 🤪

[@jeniferwendt9207]

Onions in a dark place but once you cut it, it’s gotta go in the fridge

[@bonniestieben]

A little hack for you to save you time and money. I always chop up my onions with an onion chopper and put them in a bag for the freezer so they last a long time. You can scoop out how much you need. TIME saver!!! Don't have to worry about onions going bad. I buy ground beef in bulk, and scramble the meat all at once, and divide into freezer bags for quick meals. A standard-size big slotted spoon. 3 of those scoops of meat makes for 1 pound of beef. I do the same with shredded chicken. I use a vaccum sealer and freeze flat. I'm telling ya girl. You will save so much time, and money this way, and on those nights you don't feel like standing over a hot stove It's already done. Get yourself an oxo vegetable chopper and put your kids to work. It's fun. Also another hack. When you make one meal say... the inside of chicken pot pie. Double up recipe and freeze the other half so you have a meal to go that even your kids can heat up. I've been a mom for 25 years and I wished someone told me these hacks going through years on those super busy nights, to save so much time. Love you Julie!

[@daniellerose1114]

The Shepards pie looks really good. Can you please link the recipe? Unless it's available on your Instagram

[@angelinakinsel9899]

I keep onions in the fridge they never want bad plus I keep bread in the fridge too . If you keep onions and bread out they will mold faster the fridge keeps it from getting mold . Julie I think you should just do you and not listen to people . Because there is lots of moisture in the air depending on where you live maybe you have a drier climate that has no moisture in the air you can keep vegetables out when you live in the place that has moisture in the air it's better to keep it in the fridge .

[@flowv3303]

LOL funny thought I had when you "grated" your fingernail..... DIFFERence between you and Ellie, instead of saying *aah!* I imagine Ellie screaming FUDGE, Flukk or Damgonnit!j* sorry but had to share that cause i'm literally in the parking lot chuckling while watching.

[@carriehannah6255]

I keep my onions in the frig.

[@NoobsyPoopsy]

It's chili con carne style pie. Looks yummy

[@bryanbearsley6227]

wow that is so awesome. whenever my eyes burn. just rub your eyes. cuz i do that all the time when my eyes burn from the unions

[@laura8933]

That's a strange combination of flavours for a cottage pie . I add onion, carrot and a courgette to mine along with a concentrated beef stock pot and packet cottage pie mix.

[@JulieDeru]

That’s what’s nice is you can literally add whatever you want :)

[@NaturalBornDocumentarian]

This is what we call Shepards pie in America…and we do live in America …so yeah…beef! Love the video and “preciate ya” 🫶🏻

[@megagregg]

@@Loreniz453 I'll always call it Shepherd's pie because I was raised calling it Shepherd's pie and have never had it with lamb and don't care to.

[@awiselittlehomestead777]

Fat = flavor & collagen. Don't drain!

[@terrihartlep8094]

People are far to critical here. I'm standing up for Julie. She never said this recipe was a true authentic Shepherd's or Cottage Pie. It's called Spicy Shepherd's Pie. The name doesn't even matter. I copied down the recipe & called it Julie's Taco Pie & underneath the name on her recipe What does matter is that it's good. She is preparing a good home cooked meal for her family. This is something very important & rare in today's world unfortunately & I highly praise her. You can take a recipe & make it any way you want & delete or add ingredients making it your own. It doesn't matter how you add layers there is no right or wrong way. I personally might use Tater Tots instead of Mashed Potatoes. I have a similar Taco Casserole recipe that calls for crushed Taco Flavor Doritos on top with cheese that is delicious. Or as she mentioned Cornbread being an option. The only thing she may have done wrong is show the name of the recipe with the word" Shepherds Pie". If it was called something else there hopefully wouldn't have been all this uncalled for knit picking & being super technical.

[@moonraker1986]

Hi sorry but that would be called a cottage pie as you used beef 🙈 shepherds is lamb

[@megagregg]

It can be made with any meat and called anything she wants. bossy people nowdays lol

​@@megagregg 😂

[@kelseyfludd5926]

Your pie/casserole looks yummy but it isn’t a shepherds pie. Its more of a taco pie or taco casserole.

[@sheonamiller9329]

Don’t you recycle? Compost? I just noticed you throw cans and peels into garbage.

[@JulieDeru]

If I’m being completely honest I have never thought about compost. We recycle plastic and cardboard. Usually because the cans are dirty I just toss them. I guess I could rinse them out first. Thanks for the reminder.
