Hi Everyone: I've got a few messages from our viewers that is very confused about washing your ground beef first before using it? To sum up the confusion WHAT I MEANT TO SAY is before using the ground beef from the packaging RINSE with cold water from the tap. This will remove any blood that is sitting at the bottom of the packaging. I hope this clears up any confusion and this is OPTIONAL for anyone to do! This is a tasty and very affordable meal and enjoy to the fullest! :) Thank you for stopping by.....:) Bonita

Ms. Bonita, I had planned on making this today but I’m so glad I watched you first!! I usually use a packet of frozen peas and carrots but using fresh is so much better and the gravy was superb!! Thank you for making my family happy tonight!!

I live in Denver. I would visit an Hispanic family. They made ground beef green chili gravy. Put it on everything. So great on mashed potatoes. I love so many gravys. Hollandaise and vechimel. All are so great. I always made turkey giblets gravy. I love beef au jus.

I'm really enjoying your channel. This is a great recipe. My mom used to make Shepherd's Pie using leftover meats from the freezer, lol. So we'd have steak and pork chops ground up together sometimes. I always thought it was "poor people" food, but it just meant the stuff didn't go bad.

[@dianeblake1606]

You did a good job Bonita, with the shepherd's pie. I make mine much the same, it's just I spice up the ground beef a bit more...each to their own I guess. Keep up the good cooking Bonita, I'm sure everyone is enjoying your videos😊

[@bonitaskitchen]

HI Diane: Thank you so much for your lovely message and for visiting my channel, I know shepherd's pie is made with lamb but I only can remember ever making it with ground beef or pork. Spicing it up is lovely too but my husband can't eat anything to spicy so I make to more mild. :) Thanks again and have a lovely night. Bonita

[@wilfbentley6738]

That Gravy sounds delicious, although I would make it thicker, and maybe darker. I think it would go well over a roast beef dinner, but I would add mushrooms, onions and a touch of brandy.

[@janetcorner4685]

I love your spin with the ground beef gravy.Thanks for sharing.I love your videos :)

[@wwsuwannee7993]

This is superb! I don't care what the food snobs say, if it is made with ground meat and some veg..covered with potatoes it is shepherds pie. When I was a kid my Mom made almost this exact dish and she was from Oklahoma. My Grand Mother was English so we got to know the correct way to say things......for the record it is pronounced Worshtesha or Wershtasha...or just Wershta sauce lol. This sort of food will send you to bed with nice dreams :). Drop a few...not many, oysters on top of those potatoes and you have something magical. I know there aren't many, but I would like to see some more native foods from around there. Thanks for the vid Bonita :)

[@bonitaskitchen]

WW Suwannee haha I love your message and I'm glad you enjoyed this recipe. I sure there are many versions of shepherds pie thats wonderful, thanks for the pointers. 😊Bonita

From this day forward, your pronunciation of worstichire (which I can’t spell) is the best official pronunciation

It's 'wuss' t shrrr. The syllables don't sound like they're spelled. (wuss as the word one could be called. The sound of a 'T'. Sheer which becomes shrrr

No matter what meat I use, our family always calls it Shepherd's Pie. I'm born and raised British.

[@bonitaskitchen]

Diana Del Giudice True! This is what I just said, I'm not a fan of lamb meat so pick the ground meat that works for you and of course enjoy your meal and the time in your kitchen. Thank you so much for your message 🤗 Bonita

[@eileendewell9416]

me too

[@protocolofficer2629]

As the original, in Britain, was made with lamb or mutton, it was called shepherds pie (sheep herder’s pie). If it’s made with beef, it’s called cottage pie. I have given up giving the history and always refer to it as shepherds pie!

[@protocolofficer2629]

Yumcha Brea- Definitely not kosher!

[@MtnBadger]

Again, wonderful stuff but... Let's call it right... I grew up with sheep and shepherds, shepherd's pie is sheep! But this looks like an amazing Beef Pot Pie! ;) hehe

[@mattwilson690]

Cottage pie is with beef, shepherds with lamb...

[@jonathanbrown4465]

another great video. The pie looked very tasty. I would point out though that, strictly speaking, Shepherds pie should be made with lamb not beef ( hence shepherds ). Very nice though.

[@bonitaskitchen]

Thank you Jonathan, I'm glad you stopped by and i'm glad you enjoyed our recipe. I understand totally traditionally shepherds pie was made with lamb. But I've only made it with ground beef or good pork or turkey. Sorry about the audio we have upgraded our audio intake.

[@nonenoneonenonenone]

Hi. I'm right-handed so I've always used the peeler moving away from me. I recently realized that instead of going in one direction, I can go back and forth, and the unused blade is much sharper, so you can peel twice as fast!

[@bonitaskitchen]

Good to know! I like using a knife more when peeling veggies but I love getting tips from our viewers on what they do. Thank you for stopping by. :) Bonita

[@whatmyohmy]

Hi I heard you say you wash your beef assuming you just stick it under the cold water . I do my chicken and other meats better safe than sorry. I have been wanting to wash my hamburger and I never heard until now someone doing it. So I am going to do it for now on! Thank you for great video's. Watching from U.S.A. America

[@bonitaskitchen]

Yes that is all I do is run the water from the cold water tap over it and rinse all the blood and anything that is sitting on the meat off. I know it sound weird but I always say better safe then sorry. Thank you for stopping by and welcome to our channel, its so nice to hear from you. :) Bonita

[@rondamorhaime9452]

Yum. Bonita do you season your veggies when you cook them? I always season the potatoes as they boil so just wondering. Hi from Tennessee!

[@bonitaskitchen]

Hi Ronda: Thank you for your message and for visiting my channel, yes I always put some sea salt in the pot after it starts to boil and this seasons the veggies. :) Bonita

[@GoranMak]

Looks lovely, but a correction. This is a Cottage Pie, as you used ground BEEF. A Shepherd's Pie is made with ground LAMB, hence the name Shepherd. But it looks lovely! XO

[@bonitaskitchen]

The Euro Cooking Canuk Thank you so much for your lovely message and this is true, but I'm not a fan of lamb so I guess it's my version of shepherds pie with ground beef. 🤗 Bonita

[@antiowarr9467]

Ur are right, it's is a cottage pie and not Shepard's Pie. A shepard didn't shepard cow's lol lol he shepard sheep. All here who say differently are also wrong. My mom made cottage pies and shepards pie many a time and I am A newfie. Question for readers, my mom also made this pie with seal meat, what do you call that one. Don't say flipper pie because she made that also.

[@bonitaskitchen]

haha thank you for your message and for visiting my channel, I guess there is so many names for each meal. Plus many people call them different things, but I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I guess to answer your question about the seal meat pie that was maybe the name, seal meat pie. Have a wonderful day. :) Bonita

[@pennypetrovic3682]

Bonita's Kitchen in Nova Scotia we too call it Shepard’s pie probably our English and Irish ancestors when they came here had access more to beef than lamb but we know it as Shepard’s pie

[@MrTitaniumDioxide]

@@bonitaskitchen No, not really...they've patiently and graciously explained _twice that shepherds pie is with lamb or mutton and cottage pie is made with beef..not "there is so many names for each meal." Please explain how a shepherd is associated with cattle or use the actual name for the pie. Not so difficult unless one has a stubborn streak.

[@taritorrez3506]

I was surprised to see the ground beef gravy. We call it hamburger gravy and I make it for supper pretty often. I use onion powder, and I use milk instead of broth. Serve it over fried potatoes, add a hot vegetable and some bread... bam... supper! ☺

[@bonitaskitchen]

Hi Tari: Thank you so much for your message and for visiting my channel, your recipe sounds lovely. Growing up in Newfoundland we would have that and as well bologna gravy with potatoes or fry's. Thank you for sharing your recipe with us. :) Bonita

[@taritorrez3506]

Bonita's Kitchen Bologna gravy? I don't know. Growing up in the US bologna is pretty much relegated to cold sandwich duty! Fried is ok. It's so amazing how different peoples can have the same food and utilize it in such different ways! ☺

[@bonitaskitchen]

Hi Tari: I agree totally and in Newfoundland we buy bologna in a round chunk and then cut it up in small pieces or slices which ever way you are looking to serve it. I have a video here for Bologna Stew, I don't have a video for the bologna gravy yet. But check this one out it is very tasty and it's not a lot of work. :) Enjoy Bonita kzbin.info/www/bejne/noTRZoBmaNqVi8k

This is a fantastic recipe, I give you massive respect and high five for it, and gravy is a nice touch. But yeah, it is a brilliant made cottage pie.. If I made a roast turkey dinner, I couldn't call it roast chicken. Don't worry, Alot of Americans are confused about Shepard's and cottage. This video does make me hungry though. Your videos are great. Make a steak pie!.

How and why do you wash ground beef, I’m sorry but I’ve never heard of doing this.

Can I ask What do you mean when you say " GROUND BEEF WASHED "??

[@bonitaskitchen]

Hi Yvonne, sorry about the confusion but what I meant to say, before using the ground beef from the packaging RINSE with cold water from the tap. This will remove any blood that is sitting at the bottom of the packaging. I hope this clears up any confusion and this is OPTIONAL for anyone to do!

Hi Marilyn, Thank you for your message and for stopping by, when I was only 11 years old I worked in our community for a few fisherman families while they were out on the ocean. I do this in the summer and cook and clean for them, making up recipes just for fun. Then when I turned 18, I started working in a small bakery as a baker. From that and when I finished school both me and my Husband moved away to norther Canada where I would cook for get togethers and special event like our multi cultural days, I would cook our JIGGS DINNER kzbin.info/www/bejne/rF7WgYWFbat0ZsU this is our cultural meal. Plus we had two boys and they were big eaters and I cooked mostly ever meal, I did work 9 TO 5 job as a Medical Lab Technician and retired in 2014 and we started Bonita's Kitchen to share my love of cooking and baking with anyone who like to learn how, plus when our boys went to university they wanted to learn how to make bread and I did my first video with my Ipad and posted it to youtube for them to learn., from that to now. I guess thats about it. I hope my story is interesting and you enjoy over 260 recipes we have posted to youtube and our website www.bonitaskitchen.com :) Bonita

[@aodhmacraynall8932]

Bonita, a beautiful dish but don't get all across-town wit me. That would ha' been betters served with bacon grease rather than olive oil. Usin the broth is a great idea for the nutrients and the flavour. Tink God, ya always use fresh vegetables. Frozen vegetables is good but only when we've got no choice. 4:24...cream! and two, count 'em, two tables spoons of butter. Them tatees on top is good but we chop em up and put them in with the beef and then we make rough-biscuits and lay em on top a the ground beef and cook them about the same amount a time. Ignore them down-voters... shanty-town!

I believe the British pronounce "Worcestershire sauce" as ---- "worst-er-shur" .sauce.

Did she say she washed the ground beef?

[@SJ-re5ku]

Cottage pie - beef. Shepherds pie - lamb

[@morgancalvi6675]

If you think about it...shepherds guarded sheep. Sheep have LAMB...not hamburger. That is cottage pie.

[@makwabid69]

Don't care for lamb/mutton...the lanolin leaves a greasy, soapy aftertaste like lotion. Im strictly with you...beef mince is my preferred meat in this dish. I go one step further when preparing it...I layer sliced cheddar under the mashed taters so that it melts and combines with the filling...maybe try it and see if it adds a certain something extra ! ;)

[@bonitaskitchen]

makwabid69 Thank you so much for sharing your recipe with us, you know I love a good recipe and we'll give it a try. We didn't grow up with eating lamb or mutton in our house. But here in Newfoundland every second person years ago had this meat regularly, I well prefer ground beef, pork, turkey and chicken. I'm glad you enjoyed my recipe and have a lovely day. :) Bonita

[@dalex60]

I’ve never heard of anyone washing their ground beef... curious what the purpose is?

[@sherrieanorman2816]

Me either but I am not from NewFoundland either.

cottage pie made with beef

[@SunShine-qo4br]

That's Cottage Pie not Shepherd's Pie. Cottage Pie is made with beef and Shepherd's Pie is made with lamb

[@clairemarling7565]

Pate' chinois, that's what my grandmother called it.

[@mikevaluska7313]

Traditionally called COTTAGE PIE, SHEPHERD'S Pie uses ground LAMB.

[@dogwithwigwamz.7320]

Worcestershire - pronounced "Wustashu..." `Short vowels throughout. All our `shires end by sounding `shu.` Lincolnshire, for example, is pronounced `Lincolnshu.` The dish looks fabulous.

[@tomtheplummer7322]

Try taro root

[@jayjayuk]

It is cottage pie.

[@bonitaskitchen]

Hi Jamie: Thank you for your message and for visiting our channel, here on the east coast we mostly use ground beef not lamb and we always called it Shephard's Pie........thank you again. :) Bonita

[@McCreaFamilyHomestead]

Ground beef WASHED??? I have never heard of anyone washing ground beef. The USDA tells us NOT to wash ANY meat.

[@bonitaskitchen]

Hi and thank you for your message, when I send wash the ground beef before using, this is not a big to do only rinse the blood off the meat before frying or cooking, I do the same for chicken, roast and pork. This is just sometime I keep comfortable doing. Bonita

[@McCreaFamilyHomestead]

Bonita's Kitchen yeah I figure it was just was the blood off. Did you know by washing any meat though it washes away good things as well. That’s why the USDA strongly suggests not doing it.

[@bonitaskitchen]

@@McCreaFamilyHomestead Didn't now that, here in Canada its different and our meat and fish is all local, rinsing your protein or veggies is ok. Thanks Bonita

[@marcopolo5365]

Bonita, pronounce it wor - Chester - shire. I had trouble pronouncing it for years

[@johnnyo260]

Pardon me, but Shepherd's tended lambs not cattle? Hence Shepherd's Pie. Or perhaps I'm just an old fashioned Englishman? Either way, I am correct!

[@rickcoona]

this is *COTTAGE PIE Not Shepherds Pie* Names MATTER it looks like a fine and tasty dish but *PLEASE ACCURATELY NAME THE DISH* Shepherds pie *MUST* be made with *LAMB, Not BEEF* Yes, it really DOES MATTER it's like calling it "Fried Chicken" and using DUCK... NOT THE SAME

[@j.a.steele3347]

I never EVER make my shepherds pie with lamb. Always hamburger! We are Canadians and do things the way we do them, I hate lamb, and use a lot of ground beef. Please keep your comments kind and don't try and force what YOU THINK YOU KNOW, on others!!!! What's your tradition might not be someone else's. Shepherds pie! I'm a Cape Bretoner... With grandparents from Newfoundland! Hold your tongue please. 😡

[@rickcoona]

@@j.a.steele3347 i am not saying the dish is not tasty, i am pointing out Lack of proper culinary education. there are a lot of people who make this mistake and who do not know that shepards pie, if made with ground beef is called *Cottage pie* which is also a tasty dish. if you wish to continue to mislabel something once it has been pointed out to you, than willful ignorance shall win the day is all i am saying here

[@cliffwall6593]

Regardless, from a former Pommie, a Shepherds Pie is made with LAMB mince, hence Shepherd and a Cottage Pie is made with BEEF mince (ground beef/ ground lamb for USA & Canada)

[@bonitaskitchen]

True Cliff and thank you for stopping by, but I guess it is what it is and growing up here in NL our elders called this shepherds pie and thats what we called it. We never made it with lamb but we thank you for sharing your story with us. Stay safe and enjoy our recipe. :) Bonita

[@glyntrefin1945]

Shepherds pie is made from lamb! Not beef. Shepherds look after sheep which is why Shepherds pie is made from lamb. You have just demonstrated Cottage pie. In the long gone times people kept a cow in their barn whilst sheep were out on the hills. Please get your facts right! As a cook you really should know what you are doing!

[@Marcel_Audubon]

you wash you ground beef?? never heard of that before

[@bonitaskitchen]

It sounds funny but, what I mean about wash your ground beef is to rise the blood off before using it. I do this with chicken, roast and pork before cooking it. Enjoy and have a lovely day thank you for stopping by. :) Bonita

[@Marcel_Audubon]

@@bonitaskitchen thanks for the clarification :) looks delicious

[@bonitaskitchen]

@@Marcel_Audubon You are very welcome. Enjoy Bonita

[@sarahkofman1921]

Lamb for shepherds pie. Beef for cottage pie

[@bonitaskitchen]

I know but here in Newfoundland and Labrador we have only called this one shepherds pie. I guess its the way it was, I've eaten lamb shepherd's pie before, and it's ok, thank you for stopping by and enjoy our channel. :) Bonita

[@DerekDerekDerekDerekDerekDerek]

​@@bonitaskitchenShepherds don't Shepherd beef. So in newfoundland you eat cottage pie.

[@davidschwartz2398]

Will you be smoking any food such as fish?

[@bonitaskitchen]

Hi David: Thank you so much for your message and for visiting my channel, no I haven't smoked anything. My dad would smoke fish when I was young and it is a big process but I do like the taste. Thanks again for your message.

[@grahammason5753]

no beef in shepherds pie I am a shepherds son we didnt have beef only lamb

[@bonitaskitchen]

This is true and I know lamb is the meat in a shepherds pie but this is the way we grow up having it and I guess it was the meat that was available. Thank you for stopping by and have a lovely day. :) Bonita

Sorry, but I have to make sure my beef isn't lumpy 😉
