[@elandras_world2524]

Ive been coming to this video for the last seven years! Every time i make shepherds pie i watch it, please never take it down

[@taleighshacinto33]

Lol I've been doing that since 2018! 😂

[@zanf1778]

You KNOW you can download it, right? 😂

[@LittleMissLaLa101]

5 years later and I am back again to say thank you! I made this again last night and have been making it since I found your video 5 years ago. Absolutely divine!!!

Same!!! There aren't a lot of recipes on here that top his.

[@imeldacunningham-filip1055]

i'm from Ireland and this is the BEST Shepards pie i've ever had. Delicious!!!

[@terryayager4036]

If you're from Ireland (as my wife is) you wouldn't even consider anything but "Cole's" or "Knorr" seasoning mix.

[@taleighshacinto33]

​@terryayager4036 well, maybe that's what she uses 🤷‍♀️ I use knorr. It doesn't matter what brand he said, we use what we have. 😊

Every time my Irish husband craves shepherds pie, I pull out this video! 4 years strong! Thank you so much!!

[@joangrennan886]

It's a classic British dish is Shepherds pie .Was originally made from lamb left over from Sunday dinner .I think it's cottage pie when made with beef and shepherds when made with lamb or mutton as.it was.better.known in olden times .Anyway it's real comfort food and the video was fun to watch

[@mandyhumphrey5397]

Yeah you're right Joan.

[@paulaniblett3739]

I'm out on the lamb or other things you suggested. I like his with the beef and cheese

[@Pinkfong2]

In the U.S., it’s made with beef and called Sheppard”s Pie. It definitely is derived from the British dish.. delicious.

[@minorindiscretion]

@@Pinkfong2 yep, because shepherds look after cows.... smh.

[@michaelrosspearson9756]

Thats what my nana used to do.

[@StinaMama]

Please never stop making cooking videos. Your personality is so much fun and original and infectious! A lot of people can’t say the W sauce haha “Wustah - shear “ if you can imagine saying it like that lol can you make custard pudding next ?!

[@davenorwood3403]

As an ex-pat Brit what you have made is actually a Cottage Pie. Shepherds Pie is always, always made with lamb - Shepherds Pie. Secondly Worcestershire as in the sauce is simply pronounced as Wus-ter-sheer. It looks great - will definitely try it

[@kristinabishop3759]

Thank you for pointing that out, I was about to say the same 👏👏

[@ivanpetrov5185]

From Bulgarian perspective this has the traits of moussaka, albeit different of course. But in essence it's a very bizarre sort of moussaka. I don't know if this is the normal way how Americans do mash potatoes, but the Bulgarian way is 10 times simpler. Probably not that tasty, but simpler, nonetheless.

[@johnnunn8688]

Nah, Wooster sauce.

[@gregfaris6959]

Agree with "Wooster" possibly "Wister" but definitely no "shire"

[@amsodoneworkingnow1978]

Beef = cottage pie Lamb = shepherds pie And in Scotland it's Wooster shirt sauce not so much herbs and spices I would only add 2 * oxo* cubes and add carrot onions,peas leave to cool slowly till thickens slightly add some bid to or gravy granules. Put into oven proof dish top it off with layer of mashed potatoes place in oven till mashed potatoes are slightly brown ENJOY.

[@DonECook-ob1hk]

OMG, Y'ALL, this man can cook. I just pulled my shepherd's pie out of the oven. I don't ever remember this meal being so awesome and flavorful. Thanks for sharing! 🤪❤

[@Wotdermatter]

This man cannot cook as he does not know the difference between Shepherd's Pie and Cottage Pie. This is typical US not know how BS. Most of the recipe is incorrect. NEVER TRY TO MAKE SOMETHING FROM A DIFFERENT CULTURE UNLESS YOU ABSOLUTELY KNOW THAT WHAT YOU ARE PRODUCING IS RIGHT. The onion should be cooked first then set aside then the meat should be cooked with pepper and salt - but nothing like he added which was far too much. Then flour should be sprinkled over the meat and allowed to cook with the meat. (This is used to make and thicken the gravy.) The liquid should be allowed to evaporate while the meat is cooking. so why follow an incompetent. Originally, in the UK where I am from and where this recipe originated, we never added paprika. Ketchup? Never. Look how wet the mixture was after he added the ketchup. Then fry a little bit? Cook, while stirring is better. Stir in the stock, not water mixed with flour. He called it a slurry - it was not a slurry. If a thickening agent is needed then use cornstarch. Finally, we agree on one thing - only add peas and carrots. He cannot even peel potatoes correctly Why do people extoll the virtues of such "cook" who are doing nothing but impress people with no knowledge of cooking with their lack of skills? Such presenters should be hung, drawn, and quartered. If you check out KZbin there are dozens of incorrectly produced recipes for all things, including Shepherd's Pie and Cottage Pie. Look for recipes from ENGLISH people, including Ramsay and Marco Pierre White, for how to make this properly. 'nuf sed. plamuk aka travellingchef

This looks delicious. Just a quick side note. Shepherds pie is made with minced lamb, (Shepherds=lambs). What you've made is Cottage Pie. Or at least in England that's how it is. Xx

Shepherd Pie was called this because it was made of the leftover lamb (and gravy) from the Sunday roast minced up. Beef was never used.

[@reirei7851]

This was so bomb!!! Thank you so much for sharing. That cream cheese made it so good. I added the flour to the meat, let the fat absorb the flour and then add the water(cold water). It’s sorta similar to making green chili (texture wise).

[@karimakamal9860]

I love this guy's instructions and comments... Thank you for sharing. I cannot wait to try this!!!

[@josephdiezster6865]

My grandparents were born in Ireland. My mom made Shepard's pie from the leftovers from a roast beef dinner. Mom made the best gravy from everything she cooked ( fried chicken, beef roast, meatloaf...) you name it. Mom used the leftover sliced beef, veggies. mashed potatoes and gravy. I'm looking forward to making your version with ground beef. Also, I make a mashed potatoes with cream cheese, sour cream, minced garlic, thinly sliced green onion and a pad of butter and paprika sprinkled on top.

[@etheldobre6851]

Well, you are the first person that has ever mentioned how Shepherds Pie or Cottage Pie is made and that is, from the left over meat from the Sunday Roast. Nice to know, knowledge is still out there.

This is the second time making this incredible dish! We don’t eat beef but used ground venison (only one pound) instead. Other changes were to cut down on the pepper for the potatoes, one quarter teaspoon only, since the dish already had a full teaspoon in it. We increased the veggies a bit and used smoked paprika instead of regular. Also parboiled fresh diced carrots to add to the frozen peas. A must make again!!
