Shepherd’s Pie / Cottage Pie ❤️

Shepherd’s Pie or Cottage Pie is a delicious casserole made with ground meat, vegetables and topped with mashed potatoes, here in the States many of us prepare it with ground beef , so we call it Cottage pie, I kept the Shepherd’s pie name because that’s how most of know it. Shepherd’s pie is a one pot dish made with hearty meat, vegetables and mashed potatoes and it can be enjoyed alone, with some crusty bread or a side salad. This Shepherd’s pie can be prepared in a short time and will become your favorite new casserole. Shepherd’s pie is comfort food at its best, and I hope you give it a try.❤️

Ok … First off , Mrs Rachael … you need to make a Cookbook !!! I think all your Subscribers would buy one !!! Next you need to make duplicates of all your beautiful Aprons !! Your cooking is amazing !!! ❤❤❤

[@rachelcookswithlove]

Thank you so much my friend, I appreciate your comment. I hope to have a cookbook one day. ❤️

[@karenstepp58]

Totally agree!!!!

[@tamilynn6033]

Yes I agree with you on this!!

[@annelauzon567]

I agree ! I would buy your cookbook and also buy one for each of my sisters/ sisters-in-law. I have made many of your mexican dishes when they come over for dinner and they were a big hit everytime. You should also start an apron business. Aprons with your signature on the left hand corner "Rachel cooks with love" .

[@summers2156]

Yes! I would buy her cookbook immediately!

[@glenysthomson5955]

Looks so good. By the way, speaking as a very old lady.....Shepard pie was made from leftover Sundays roast, gravy, veg and mashed potato. Using ground meat ofcourse is wonderful but it was made from leftovers originally.

[@gerardparker4220]

I love how calm and peaceful your videos are. Great recipe

[@rachelcookswithlove]

Thank you so much my friend. Happy Thanksgiving. ❤️

[@Densmith43]

Your cooking makes me feel like all the great secrets are all out . Thank you .

[@Tricia1969]

I just found you while looking for something else. I made your cottage pie Sunday, and everyone loved it. I see many of your other recipes that I will try. I saw where you lived in Ohio and now are in Texas. I was raised in Ohio but moved to Virginia in 1986. We love it here. The weather, especially the winters, are so much better. God bless you Rachel and Ron.

[@rachelcookswithlove]

Yay! I'm glad everyone loved your Cottage pie and God Bless you and your family!

[@deepayne1930]

In England we call it Cottage Pie if made with Beef and Shepherd's Pie if made with Lamb. Looks delicious, as always Rachel. x

Comfort to the max dear friend! This is just one of those dishes so perfect for these chilly fall days plus super easy to put together.

I've made several of your recipes Rachel, and they've all ben delicious. I made this Shepherds Pie last night for dinner, even though its summertime. My mom and I both enjoyed it. I used gold potatoes 🥔 because it's what I had, also because IMO they make the best mashed potatoes 🥔. I held back the salt bcuz my mom has a ❤ condition but I increased and adjusted the other seasonings to compensate and it came out great. Keeping it for future dinners.
