Shepherd's Pie with Creamy Champ Mash!

[@jedwhelan2545]

Awesome recipe the family here in Australia loved it ....no left overs here!!!

[@ronanportley4409]

Where's the recipe, I can't find it?🤔

[@fabianstanley13]

Amaaaazing simple recipe, thank you Donal!

[@barbaragreene7500]

So many ways to make this 'pie', all wonderful and delicious!

[@aghinaf]

I probably finish the mashed potato before I can spread it into the meat

[@Nubianette]

Didn't you want him to stick the spoon in his mouth? Hehe!

[@aghinaf]

Nubianette At first I read "Didn't you want him to stick the spoon in your mouth" What's wrong with me 😂

[@air6665]

Someones turned on by cooking

Ajeng Ghina Farhani me too

[@McHughism]

"Go on home, you shouldn't even bother" hahaha, oh my god , i love it

[@keetrandling4530]

This just became my go-to Shepherd's Pie recipe, looks scrumptious!

[@angelfire2085]

You cant beat a good shepherds pie.... so yummy, thanks Donal!!

[@monjurulkader3063]

What a recipe! It's excellent dish that I have ever seen.

[@MaZEEZaM]

We grew up having this in my family also but it was a favourite of ours, no spring onions though. My all time favourite mash is simply mashed potatoes with a ton of cream cheese spread mashed through it.

[@TheDevilDarling]

my mother sometimes mashes up turnip with her potatoes and it's so good on shepherds pies!

[@keetrandling4530]

mmmm spring onions in the mash sounds yum! Mom used to put mashed potatoes on the bottom & top, guess she had less meat to deal with. never used carrots, but with lamb instead of beef, I guess that would taste good. Thanks, I'll try your recipe - watching you always makes me hungry!

[@castrellakate]

I just made this and paired it with a side salad of arugula and parmesan with olive oil and lemon juice dressing omggg best dinner everrrr

[@stephanielouise6971]

I made this delish recipe and added two rashers of diced bacon to the minced lamb and roughly 3/4 cup of Parmesan to the mash potato and sprinkled a little more on top and it was so hearty and morish...first attempt at shepherd's pie too, so thank you for the inspo!

[@donalskehan]

+Stephanie Louise yay so glad you liked it!

[@Mimi-db2xd]

I made this for St. Patrick's Day dinner. My family LOVED IT! It is a fabulous, very tasty dish, that I plan to make often now! Thank you for a wonderful recipe and video demonstration.

[@aozoraaaa]

i made this last night! i used beef instead of lamb and i chucked in a diced red pepper as well - i also didn't have tomato puree or worcestershire sauce on hand, so i just put in a bit of ketchup and hoped for the best. it came out so well! i've actually never had shephard's pie before and i was shocked at how easy it was to make something so delicious. i will definitely be holding onto this recipe (and possibly making it again very soon). thanks so much!

[@johnnesbitt688]

The champ is a great addition. Good lad yourself Donal!

[@mimimachiwing]

The background gives me lots of imagination.Just like cook in a woods.Yum yum

[@Kenzie.brewer]

I grew up on this too as my Grandpa was Irish.

[@omgilovefandoms8074]

did anyone else also freak out when he was mashing the potatoes in the non stick pan....all i could think was that his saucepan will get scratches!

[@NatashaGraves555]

+Omgilovefandoms Yes! lol

[@paulmarca1]

👍

[@KenBernardez]

The difference is that, he's a chef and you're probably not.

[@Ah-qk6wx]

+Florayde Ken Bernardez Just a question, not trying to be rude, but what does that have to do with anything?

[@mocki6622]

+Florayde Ken Bernardez The difference is that he doesn't have to worry about buying a new one ;-D And i don't think he is a chef, but i might be wrong

[@rebeccah4407]

Yum, yum! One of my husband's favorite dishes. I love the addition of green onion to the mash.

[@anastasiak2804]

The best shepherds pie ever! Made it multiple times. Making it again today. Yummo!!

[@Reachmorenow1]

My son sent me the URL for Donal Skehan and I've really enjoyed watching his videos. Am ready to do the Shepherd's Pie...we can all use some comfort - YES!

[@donalskehan]

that's so cool. Hope you like the shepherds pie :)

[@29ihavenoname]

and I, like you.

[@miriambateman160]

Now a family favourite. I add some of that well known “browns, seasons and thickens all in one go” mixed with water to the mince. Also we need more potato to get proportions right.

[@princessanani]

Big fan of Shepherd's Pie and this looks brilliant! Love the idea of throwing in spring onions into the mash. I love spring onions! Will try out this recipe soon! Nura, Singapore

[@MaZEEZaM]

Lamb mince is my favourite mince for spagbol or lasagne, its not as strong as beef but stronger than chicken or pork and the oilyness gives a really nice mouth feel.

[@garlicgirl3149]

I would love to learn about more Irish dishes.

[@Jaden94]

Damn Donal, back at it again with the delicious recipes !! Thank you so much.

[@mari-jozilveti1209]

Donal, those spring onions seem to make the difference in your recipe. I will have a try. Definitely!

[@San191292]

I miss your old kitchen. Had so much more color and life. Sigh! I shall still be your loyal follower because I LOVE your recipes. So so easy and delicious

[@donalskehan]

hang in there, still trying to find my perfect kitchen :)

[@ASiby]

Love Shepherd's pie and all things Irish :)

[@Paul-bw6eo]

Grew up on this too, in Northern Ireland! The champ on the top was how my gran made it! Beautiful memories,thanks so much! Scotch broth next?😎🇨🇦🇬🇧

[@jarniwoop]

It does look good. I've not made Shepherd's Pie with lamb. AND I do like Champ, so this is a win.

[@kylawi2014]

Made this last week and it was delicious!!!!

[@nightankh219]

A useful tip I discovered is to use a potato ricer if I was creamy potatoes with no lumps at all. For Patty's day, I like corned beef and cabbage. It's a special treat I make once a year.

[@gilligun29]

Absolutely delicious!!!

[@cres334]

I made this and it was easy and delicious.

[@donalskehan]

+Cres ! so glad you liked it!

[@elsiegrace4616]

OMG your killing with this.. Yum yum .. I'm try this tomorrow .. thank you

[@babybobs6]

Looks soooooo good!!!

[@spresley1980]

I use Guinness with the stock to add more depth of flavor.

[@xRawrBawr]

As a Welshman I would try it with leek instead of spring onions if I made it. Looks awesome though, nothing like a Shepherd's/Cottage pie when it's bucketing it down outside.

[@CharlieMelia]

As an Irishman I would totally agree with you. Scallions are a poor substitute for leeks or cabbage for that matter. But then the Welsh and the Irish always get along.

[@leaderOf6Bdancegroup]

hi donal, i really enjoy your videos! i watched grandma's boy on natgeo and tried to search for more information about you since then, and i found your youtube channel! great!! i go to cooking school yeah it's a vocational high school and you really inspiring me. i hope i can be a great chef just like you! and i'll save some money from my allowance to buy your book lol thank you donal wish you the best!!

[@all-gone]

Looks good Donal!

[@nimascrenattahws907]

Man.. so perfect meal for winter season right now in down AU. 😋👍

[@dwaynewladyka577]

Looks so very tasty!

[@riske8341]

I'll will be trying that definitely and love your videos by the way ☺

[@YTExplorer27]

Donal I baked it and it was awesome. My son wanted to finish the whole big tray 😉

[@lydzx1992]

Yummy. I love shepherds pie, i use vegie mince as i am vegetarian but i will totally make this with the addition of the thyme and stock usually i just sweat off carrots and onion then add the mince and sauces i bet this will make it even more tasty. Totally love the idea of using spring onions on the mash too! Stealing that idea. Thanks Donal! If you are sick as it sounds then i hope you get better :)

[@Hunnie_B]

" join the dollops "......got it ! I grew up eating Sheperds Pie in my youth, and I love making it for my family......love this recipe Donal, I will definitely be adding the green onion next time I make it. I live in Canada, but I come from an amazing clan of McCarthy's on my mother's side......we love to celebrate St. Patricks Day every year with good food, and maybe a drink or two :)

[@AprilSlocombe]

You could make this with colcannon, which is mashed potato with cabbage and spring onion. I've tried colcannon in O'Neill's, an Irish-themed pub in the UK and it was lovely.

[@keetrandling4530]

Thank you, April, I was wondering if Colcannon was acceptable. Isn't it made with kale instead of head-cabbage, though?

[@AprilSlocombe]

+Keet Randling I'm not sure. Maybe it can be made with any sort of cabbage.

[@scrappydoogal804]

Stumbled upon this recipe four months too late! Lolz. Great recipe though..I love the sound of the creamy potatoes with the spring onions mixed in with them! 😊

[@donalskehan]

next year :)

[@radioactivenonesense]

why wait next year? just do it today :D

[@annabm91]

Donal Skehan you are very good looking!

[@nano15j]

you missed the opportunity to say that "the thyme has served it's time" but still a great video :)

[@christianrivadeneira6705]

nano15j that’s funny

[@TAMARAELISE]

This comment is crucial to this video .....love it😉

[@YTExplorer27]

Love you Donal!! 💟

[@EmilyJelassi]

i make my shepherd's pie a bit different. i use mashed sweet potatoes (i can't have regular potatoes). it is different, but super yummy!

[@randyoberlander3830]

I've been looking for a pan like that!

[@chrisbird9683]

Wow. Yum. That looks amazing.

[@melicruzr]

I could watch these just cause I find the accent so nice and interesting, but the recipes are lovely too, so wiin-win.

[@snickety13]

Yummmm. 😋. The potatoes are like Colcannon, I put chopped cooked cabbage in them and/or kale along with the spring onions. ILL try your way first though, lol then next time I'll add Colcannon on top. Hope your having easy time finding place to live here in Calif. 😊. and you and Sofie getting used to things . Love your channel!

[@foreverrahustler]

Looks so good! I'll have to try this soon!

[@hannahplas2495]

That's one of the funniest ways I've ever heard someone pronounce "Worcestershire sauce😂😂"Worcestershireshire"😂 love it!

[@agiles5196]

Thanks for the video, it was extremely helpful! I want (very much) to make cottage pie for St. Patty's Day and have watched dozens of videos on it. I decided to use yours for our basic recipe and have now made our own version of it several times. We LOVE it!!!

[@sparklesify]

LOVE IT

[@danimarino5653]

I've never had a good shepherds pie here in America. I think they use ground beef. I love lamb and I'm pretty sure that's the difference maker. Definitely something I need to try making at home

[@donalskehan]

it's so delish when it's done right :)

[@thinderellaedwards1365]

A lot of groceries don't stock lamb on the regular. My gran used to make lamb for Sunday dinner and would chop up the leftovers for shepherds pie on Monday. Looks delicious Donal!

[@joansullivan9846]

Beautiful ❤☘Thank you

[@aleksandramariavanberg7774]

I LOVE IT

[@pausa831]

anything really with mince and mashed potatoes is comfort food, no matter where you're from

[@JCavLP]

I don't know if they dothat in ireland too, but if you make mashed potatoes, put a little bit of nutmeg in there, it makes such a difference

[@parbhjotkaur753]

Very yummy

[@jeffward1106]

As always, brilliant dish and brilliant video! Lamb mince needs no draining like beef? Does it come in different %s like beef? I love the mash. Last year I added parsnips. Great again, Donal!

[@adriansalas9169]

I probably shouldn't watch these videos when I'm hungry 😂😍😍😍

[@natalieaviv-2268]

Oh my... Happy Paddy's day Donal :)

[@aliciabanaag4918]

My fav 💓

[@OnACherryTop]

I'm going to try this next weekend! Looks amazing! 😍

[@carloshulsen]

St Patricks is going to be on my practical cooking class day, so, I don't know yet what we are having but for sure there will be a beer afterwards!

[@aninaholbek]

This recipe is a winner! :D

[@abbieellis278]

Love making shepherd pie me and my dad always make it 😋

[@Bluemoon-vm4lg]

waooo wonderful pie 💪💪💪

[@ChiaraThijssen]

I'll be making this for dinner tonight! Can't wait to taste it :)

[@Yousei85]

Just made this with 50% pork and 50% beef (no lamb at the store) and it turned out amazing. Although I did tweak it and added a mix of cheddar and mozarella cheese to the mash =)

[@kaywarnes8865]

This looks AMAZING!! Im in the Early Stages of Pregnancy and anything I eat just comes back up 😩 I so NEED THIS!!

[@chilliparks1redhot]

Wish you all the best for your pregnancy and your baby 😊

[@kaywarnes8865]

+chilliparks1redhot Awww thank you your so sweet 💚

[@EmmeFen]

yay a simplified version of Shepards pie. I plan on making your lamb stew recipe again this year for st.patricks day but I will definitely make this once our local farmers market opens up. we have a fantastic lamb farmer that comes. :)

[@craftywabbit9547]

my god that looks good, will be making that all right !! On St. Paddy's Day I'll be wearing a green & orange scarf thrown across the shoulders of a white top (comfy jeans of course) and heading to the centre of Belfast to see the parade...have a good one yourself Donal & Co :)

[@butterbean818]

Try replacing the Worcestershire sauce with HP sauce and adding a tiny pinch of nutmeg...heavenly!!!!

[@intermezzono1]

We love to go to british and irish pubs here in Hannover and friends love to eat that pie. It smells so good. What a shame I don't eat meat. xD

[@cleversagg22]

Though I've always had beef sheperd's pie, I will try to make it with lamb. Looked delicious!!!

[@gman922]

beef shepherds pie is called cottage pie..... shepherds do not herd cattle.

[@rileys7146]

Have to make this tonight! Can't wait for Thursday to chow down on this.

[@mariasaeed1004]

i love your foooddd!!! :) i have made some of it.. they were delicious!!

[@seamusdebuitleir20]

Donal, thank you for sharing your knowledge.Any ideas on planning for a large group? Thats one of my weaknesses planning. Thank you.

[@IrishCol1only]

Just double, triple or however much you need, I'm big into batch cooking as so busy during week but want to ensure I have a home cooked meal after work so I batch cook alot at the weekends! :)

[@seamusdebuitleir20]

+IrishCol1only Thank you for taking the time to reply. One other question how long can you store? And where,I am a student in the cooking world, and learning every day new ideas. Thank you.

[@Madico1114]

Our family’s go to recipie

[@isaun6523]

Will try with beef. looks good.

[@AnaxErik4ever]

I've made a shepherd's pie with turkey before and it tasted just as good. I cut red meat out of my diet in 2009 and my heart health is the better for it with all the seafood I eat as a result of that decision.

[@crojonphoenix]

a touch of mustard seeds in the mash and a nice homemade coleslaw on the side is always welcome :3

[@AlisynShepro]

I'm getting in the mood this year with corned beef and cabbage. I love the salty brine flavor of corned beef. The pickling spices are great. I don't know if we make it anywhere near how the Irish make it. We Americanize everything it seems like. How do you make it?

[@chhayy5365]

Am hungry af now thank uIt looks great!!

[@itouchpro67]

Yummy!

[@pennyh4021]

we add grated cheese to the top of our mash when we make shepherds pie.

[@bee7549]

I love your videos...thank you :-) Will definately be making this for my husband's birthday...on St Patrick's Day! :-)

[@MrStensnask]

Worcestershire-shire :D and you're even from the Isles, Donal!

[@donalskehan]

+MrStensnask gets me everytime!

[@MrStensnask]

to be fair, it is a ridiculous name :)

[@Pmbme97]

Would like to see you have a go at some Irish place names and see how beneficial being from the isles is 😉
