You guys voted a while back for this Shepherd's pie recipe. I've been making a version of this for over 20 years and it's always a hit. The print recipe and ingredients are linked right in the description. As always thanks for liking and watching our videos. We truly appreciate your support.
Now you know we need the soda bread video.
But where are the lady fingers, whip cream, jam? (Friends reference)
Looks great., I’m gonna try this. Small quibble. While sautéing your mixture you didn’t get the veggies that clung to the sides of the pan. Their texture will be different from the other ingredients. Just sayin….
What about beefs as a substitute?
@@matthewmp111 yes you can, then its called cottage pie
The fact that it's just you guys, in your actual kitchen is why I love this so much. We live in a world where everything is filtered, scripted and fake, finding something real is priceless.
Agree! I just in love his delivery...so relatable
If only you can see the equipments behind the scene to achieve such good lighting
I love this channel. The realness and his wit are refreshing!
Come on. I love this channel, but acting like there isn’t a significant amount of work that happens preparing and editing in post is just being silly.
It's very sad if you think this is what "real" looks like. I don't have a problem with this, but it is clearly edited, prepared in advanced, with good cameras and lighting. There's barely anything real there, and that would be the taste tests.
A rare Sammy sighting! Love that you're getting everyone involved, the more the merrier. Can't wait to make this one!
It must be hard for him living with two such harsh food critics!
I just have to say how much I like how you keep your videos 'real.' I like the tips, the misses, comments, etc. I'm not a great cook, so I really appreciate all the food chatter. Your 'production staff' is amazing. Taste testers -- same. You've got a very nice channel, and I never miss an upload. Thanks. 🥰 (P.S. Your blog is great, too!)
We really appreciate that, thanks so much!
Agreed
For some reason you and your accent remind me of a young Richard Dreyfuss! My first time here - love it!
"Make sure you don't have your really good flannel on today."
I'm dying
Love when you and your wife interact while filming. It makes the videos "warmer."
Great seeing your daughter on this one!
What a beautiful family! Always a joy watching you with your kids! 🥰
Dude, I almost died laughing when you said "good flannel". There is good flannel. My wife rolls her eyes at me every time I am doing something that might get messy and I tell her I have to go change into my old flannel. Excellent video as always. I love your recipes.
This is SO different from how I make Cottage Pie. I can't wait to give this a try, I'm literally salivating. Jim, I know you hear it all the time, but your manner in front of the camera is so warm and relaxed. You really have no equal on RUclips. I'm so glad I found your channel. Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Thanks so much, I really appreciate that!

Maybe it’s different because cottage pie and shepherds pie are 2 different things. Shepherds pie is made with lamb and cottage pie with beef. After all shepherds look after sheep not cattle. People often get confused over this.
@@fernmeadow20 Thank you, but I'm aware of the difference. That's why I said what I make is Cottage Pie.
Perfect recipe. My only suggestion to try would be substituting out the parm reg in the mash with dubliners Irish cheddar. Makes SUCH a huge difference in flavor profile and compliments the Guinness incredibly. Love the channel!
This sounds delicious 😳
Can second that. Dubliner’s is great in the potato topping.
Gotta throw a little Italian in there 😂
Bloody Irish!!
sounds disgusting, never heard of anyone putting cheese in shepherds pie! More than enough flavour and fat already. Never heard of tomato or tomato paste or any veg either except for people trying to fool their kids….
“Make sure you don’t have your really good flannel on today” 😂😂 Great video and recipe as always man! I think I’ll be making this tonight!
I always use leftover roast that I run thru the meat grinder along with left over vegetables. Moisten with left leftover gravy. Spread in casserole and top with leftover mashed potatoes and bake till heated and browned. The best
This has got to be my favorite video of yours! Love the banter, love the conversational style as you talk to the viewer. Truly welcoming and a joy to watch. Keep up the great work, y'all are naturals at this!
I would love it if you did a live “cook with me.” You could give us the ingredient list ahead of time and then we could all cook the same dish together! 😊♥️
We plan to do lives here and on Facebook. Probably a couple of months before we are setup for it.
@@SipandFeast amazing!!!!
YES! I second that suggestion!! Just give us notice you are going to do it and what time it will start, and list of ingredients we need to have.
It is very nice how you explain what you're doing and why. Not just a recipe, you're teaching how to cook. Thanks.
When it comes to new ideas or updated classics you always bring your game!! So very happy I found your channel….keep cooking and providing menus/recipes that anyone can successfully make.
Love that it’s just you guys. I’ve made a few of your recipes and they’re always a success! You’re super relatable!
While you can use raw minced lamb, we normally mince up left over roast lamb. It’s a “leftover” dish, made with leftover mashed potatoes and leftover roast lamb. I’ve never made it with raw minced lamb, but I suspect the flavour profile would be quite different.
Also leftover mashed potato has a different texture as it has slightly solidified in the fridge. It seems to crisp up better, with or without cheese on too.
I’m from New Zealand and my wife is English and it was always made from leftovers by everyone that we know.
Man, this was my favourite dinner growing up in England. So many memories of a previous life. Your version is sublime. 👌
I generally don't get why people like live videos. I like it nice and tight, thought out, bing, bam, boom, you show me what I came to see. ( like this one 🤣)
I am totally making this for Sunday dinner! I've been watching you for a few months and I've gotten to the point where I can create simple sauces without a recipe and I can kinda tell what spices something needs too. This is a HUGE improvement for me. Thank you!!
That's great to hear, thank you for telling me!
Everything you make looks delicious! i love that you give tips and options along with the steps. And I love that your crew is your family!
I just super appreciate how you make really good cooking feel approachable. This is a great recipe, and I love shepherd's pie, and I totally feel like I could make this. Also your dynamic with your family is always heartwarming
You guys make such a great team with the way you work with and support each other. Wonderful to see.
I really enjoyed this vid for the contribution of your wife, who you can put in more often as far as Im concerned, and I appreciate your set, the comments about your misses and "adventures". Im a fan. thank you and look forward to the live vids.
I’ve made many of your recipes and love each and every one! Excited to try another this week. More importantly, I’ve learned many cooking techniques that I replicate in my own cooking that has made it even better to cook from scratch 😊
This is the second recipe of your I have made and it was amazing. My first Shepherd’s pie and it came out better than I could’ve hoped. Love this channel.
Thanks Jim for the video, I usually only watch Italian dishes but with St.Paddy's so close watched this one. Great content as usual. Happy for your success here!
Thank you, for this recipe. I made it for Father’s Day and it was a complete success.
I like adding chopped chives to the mashed potatoes. Adds to the appearance and flavor.
Thanks for the tip!
Do scallions work too if sliced very very very thin?
@@melissarybb Yum, that's a great idea. Just bc I have spring onions and parsley in my winter garden rn, I would add either one. They are both dark green veggies -- chockfull of nutrients!
@@melissarybb yes... He adds cream to the taters..try just the butter... sour cream and English Cheddar... Plain old sharp cheddar works in a pinch also. Some salt and pepper to taste. You want the mash to be thick so don't overdo the butter and sour cream. I add mash to the bottom of the dish also as it makes it easy to to scoop out a square with a spatula without it falling apart. Just a visual presentation thing but it matters to the eye. For the meat mix I put in pearl onions for my own twist... super sweet and yummy.
@@bloozedaddy Oh yes! Pearl onions indeed. Thank you!
classic english dish! glad you mentioned "cheddar cheese" and not just "parmazan" traditionally here in u.k if we add cheese it's cheddar all day long your shepard's pie looks amazing!; )
wow, I am amazed at everyone agreeing that cheese belongs in this recipe, I have been eating Shepherds/Cottage pie for over 50 years and never with cheese, never even heard of it as an ingredient, the idea of it makes me feel quite ill and I think it would ruin the mix of flavours, butter only and baked beans on the side…
@@finebetty7446 I'm not a fan of cheese on a Shepherds or Cottage pie either. It simply doesn't need it.
It's funny you mentioned the "meat masher." I was just talking to one of my coworkers the other day about cooking and she told me about this tool she just got and how great it is at breaking up ground meat. She shared a link to it with me, and it's exactly the thing you showed! Definitely getting one!
I just bought that same meat masher two weeks ago. I agree, it’s the right tool for the job, works great!
Really like how you involve your family. Very human and personable and just .... great !!
Loved this recipe ... I will surely buy all the ingredients and prepare it for St Paddy's Day! Your YT channel is the best. You have a beautiful family! Blessing to you and yours and the best each and every day! 🍀
Another recipe that I’ll be preparing soon. It looks delicious and confort food. Thank you for another easy and great recipe.
Such a great chef and very honest, just love you guys❤
Have been a big fan for a while for the food and the laid back, down to earth approach but really enjoyed this episode with the unfiltered back and forth and the jokes. Keep on going, man. Great work.
Love your family and your video recopies.. You are Awesome in my book.
You make a lot of things the way I was taught. The game changer for me was the cherry tomatoes with butter, I've made similar things but the butter really bring the sauce together.
"The timer of the potatoes just went off." "I just checked and they are rockhard." How I love this channel. New taste tester also did an excellent job.
I subbed to this channel to learn some easy italian recipies. I'm English and already know how to make a great shepards pie, but still watched to see your take on it. Looked absolutely delicous. Might have to try mine with a little parmigiano next time.
Keep up the great work. Always look forward to your videos.
I appreciate that, thank you!
My dude!!!I'm from the UK, I've been making cottage pie all my life because I don't like lamb , I always call it Shepards pie for some reason lol I tried ur recipe with lamb because u sold it to me! Buddy the family love it and I absolutely adore it even tho it's lamb!!!! Please keep the recipes coming 100% ! 👍 I'm a subscriber!
I made this exactly per recipe. I never follow a recipe exactly but I did this time. I split mine into 2 equal size pans, cooked both at the same time, we ate one for dinner froze one for later. This is perfection. We just pulled the frozen one out, thawed partially, into oven @350 until warmed thoroughly. Second dish: perfection. Now one of my families favorites.
If you cut the potatoes up into small pieces they will cook in half the time. It doesn't affect the end product as you are mashing them anyway. Great video. Thanks
Jim, I'm slowly making my way through your recipes and this is another winner. Shepherd's Pie is a favorite in my house. I made this last night and everyone raved about it. Thanks for the great recipe. I'll be sure to share it with my family and friends 😊
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!
Looks so good. I like the hints and tips as well. I always learn something.
I was raised by JOBs in Calgary, (Just off the boats) A Canadian term for recent immigrants. My whole family is from Scotland. This recipe is missing one ingredient that is essential, Nutmeg, that is the secret spice for Shepherds pie. I use 1 1/2 teaspoon. Granny called Shepherd's Pie, or Cottage Pie Larder cleaner. Also I would never use tomatoes, Celts did not use tomatoes, ever they were considered poison.
I just made your roasted garlic bean soup for the 4th time (I feel like a damn hero chef every time!) and now I'm sitting down watching this and I want to eat it right now--I cannot wait to try this recipe! You are so easy to understand and I just love your videos--also you and your wife are too funny especially when she calls you out (We just had Chipoltle last night!) LOL!
I've enjoyed this channel for over a year now--I intend to do this dish in the next few days. Also, what a warm and nice family!
Made this for dinner tonight. Cannot believe the depth of flavor. Among the best meals I have made. Will become a regular dish on my table.
Just found your channel, and I love it !
As an Englishman living in the USA, whenever I hear someone say "Shepherd's Pie" then I'm automatically in hyper-critical mode !!! As soon as you said you were using lamb, then I gave a knowing nod of approval. When you pronounced Worcestershirshsheshire sauce as Wooster sauce, I smiled, and the fact your family knows the difference between Shepherd's Pie & Cottage Pie is just fantastic & respectful. Yes sir, you're doing it right !
This is very close to my recipe. My only changes are NO celery because I hate it, HP sauce with the stock instead of Guinness, and vintage cheddar for the mash instead of Parmesan, because well, I'm English. Like you said also, use your eyes for the meat mix - when it has that lovely silky glossy sheen to it, then it's perfect - and that applies whether you decide to use lamb or beef.
who puts cheese in shepherds pie!?! 🤮🤮🤮
@@finebetty7446 I put it on top of the mash, so it crisps up in the oven. (also add cheese to mash itself, as well as butter and sour cream - always). Delish !
Looks delicious as always. Love your family involvement it’s super cute
My favorite food channel. Haven't tried any yet, just like the host and his family. And everything looks delicious.
I'm Irish, living in Ireland, and I can assure you, Guinness is stout.
Love you guys! God bless and happy St. Patrick's Day. ☘
Here’s the thing….I grew up on shepherds pie, authentic shepherds pie. Whether you use lamb, beef or other meat, it can NEVER be minced before cooking. Shepherds pie is comprised of leftovers. Meaning it was a leftover roast, not a minced meat. The leftover roast is then ground or finely chopped. Makes all the difference in the world.
I agree, mine is always made with leftovers.
You have the best recipes I’ve found on RUclips. I’ve made some epic family dinners following them and my wife thinks I’m a pro chef. Who family is blown away by how good the meals turn out. My favorite to do is the mushroom pasta I do with seared venison blackstrap
im feeling like giving a comment after i lurked through atleast 50 videos. i think there isn’t a single one i haven’t enjoyed. the style of the videos is just too good. you and your wife are great human beings and you got beautiful children. keep it up and all the best. :)
Thanks for the kind words and for watching. Really appreciate that!
FYI baking soda does wonders for browning!
1/4-1/2tsp per pound of meat mixed with 1tbsp of water in a gallon ziploc, add in the meat, mix around, let sit for 15 minutes, then into the pan.
Love watching your videos!! Great that you're so kicked back and chill in the kitchen. Love that Long Island accent. I have the same one...could spot it anywhere.
Hello. Always a pleasure watching your video. The dishes always present nicely & look really delicious. Thank you for sharing your recipes.🙂👌👍👍
Thank you for using lamb! Even when I go to restaurants, they advertise cottage pie as shepherd's pie. Lamb is an underrated meat in America.
so love the realness of you and your wife & children and of course phenomenal recipes/cooking...and all your producers/editors! LOL
I love your recipes. You’re so detailed and interesting. Thank you !
its amazing it says you've being perfecting this recipe for years, I've being making this with the same ingredients with over 25 years and i am Irish ha i love it, great job, i also do many other variations of this including the traditional one. hello from Ireland
Making this tomorrow, you’ve inspired me, thank you!
"Make sure you don't have your really good flannel on today"
I love the idea of everyone who makes this at home making sure to wear a flannel while cooking! Thanks for another amazing recipe to try :)
At 7:15, the dry sarcasm from Tara is wonderful! Love it!
Add the veg first with a good slurp of olive oil and a large pinch of salt and then sweat with the lid on for a good 10 mins to give a sofrito. Then add meat and proceed. This gives a sweeter, richer flavour. As per Marcella Hazan’s ragu. I’m British but this is how I make my shepherds pie.
I've been making cottage pie lately, but the Guinness addition seemed like an extra AWESOME ingredient to add. I will follow this recipe on my next shepards pie. I was going to make shepards pie last time, but the kids were afraid of lamb. I have fixed that for them, and your recipe looks like it is going to turn out, quite, well... Thank you SaF. 👍
Love your channel. Great vid as always.
I was just thinking of sending you that exact tool. I'm glad you have one now.
Just found your channel, 🤩 I Am completely enjoying it. Love your recipes as well as the taste testing.
I haven't had shepherds pie in so long. I am binging your channel for meal ideas (I married an Italian who grew up in Long Island and New Jersey) so your channel is perfect. Also, I appreciate your style of cooking channel and your taste testers are the best. :)
going to try this tonight! Cheers from The Netherlands. Love your channel!
For the ground beef/cottage pie variant, I had a breakthrough a few weeks ago: replace a portion of the Worcestershire sauce with red miso paste, and a squeeze of brown mustard. I dunno if it will work with lamb's unique flavor, but for supermarket ground beef it kicked the recipe up a whole letter grade.
thanks, so much, for posting this. I always love your videos.
Looks delicious thanks for sharing one of your amazing recipes ❤❤
7:22
Actually when I watched my first video of this channel (which I think it was about the calzone) I really thought it was cut out of a professional TV program due to the high quality of production and the informative techniques and how thorough you are, but as I started watching more videos I began to realize that this really is an independent channel and I just couldn’t believe it. What I’m trying to say is that your channel is awesome and keep up the amazing work
I can’t wait to try this recipe. I’ll admit I’ve never used potatoes as the device rice appearance or with egg ! This looks so delicious
You have an awesome team and your recipes rock🎉
Big loves from New Zealand, dude. I regularly make your recipes for my family and they always love them. They absolutely love the butter and tomato pasta recipe on your channel.
So happy you're enjoying the channel, thanks so much!
Such a warm video! I love mashed potatoes but i dont like lamb so much. I hope the taste tester feels better soon!❤️
You guys are all great together.god bless
Nice, very similar to how I make mine. I also add some panko breadcrumbs on top as well, adds a great texture.
Your recipes always look amazing! I’m going to make this for the fam next after I recover from my surgery and I can eat what I want again.
I’ll admit I never would’ve checked your channel for a Shepherds pie recipe but I like that you added your Italian touch w the Parmesan. Way to go! This looked so good I gave it a 10.
You guys are so great!! Love all your videos!!!
After cooking your beef Bourguignon recipe last week I Tres this one tonight and man you are killing it with these and making me look brilliant haha.
A suggestion for what to do with leftover tomato paste. Lay a substantial piece of plastic wrap on your counter. you’re going to split this in half and then fold one-half over the other. On the 1 Half place dollops of the remaining tomato paste in maybe one or 2 tablespoon increments about 1 1/2 inches apart so that you have maybe four or six or whatever’s left.Then you fold over the other half of the plastic wrap over the dollops and mold the plastic wrap around each dollop and then fold those up and put them in the freezer. When you need a tablespoon full or so of tomato paste you can just either unwrap it and it will come out by itself or you can just cut out a piece out of the wrapping. There ya go! No need to waste the rest... you can also do something similar with an ice cube tray...
This looks delicious and soul warming. Thank you for breaking it down and making it look doable for a novice.
Thank you Tara and Jim. A truly spectacular recipe, so full of flavor. We fixed it for friends. They had seconds and took some home 😊
Made this tonight. It's absolutely amazing. Huge hit with the family. Thanks for the video and for the recipe! Tara in Kansas.
So happy you enjoyed!
I was in the hospital for all of February so I'm just now catching up and can I say I love that Tara is chiming in while you're filming now! It adds a real at home, conversational feel and reminds me of when I'm cooking at home while my husband hangs out in the kitchen with me. :)
Thanks for the comment and hope you're feeling better!
Made this last night….it was incredible. Thanks for the recipe!
Just made this tonight! Delicious!!
Looks delicious had it in Scotland last week and can’t wait to make it here in America. Thanks again for the recipe ❤
The Meat Masher!! 🤣🤣 I just got one about a month ago, also thinking "am I really going to need this?" I am SO loving how well it breaks up the meat for tacos, chili etc. Happy to see you like it too - I feel validated. 😅
Love your show and can't wait to watch you live. I'm from Huntington.
