No-fuss shepherd's pie image

We've got some lovely twists on shepherd's pie on the site, but we were missing a definitive version of this classic family recipe - here it is!

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tbsp sunflower oil
1 large onion, chopped
2-3 medium carrots, chopped
500g pack lamb mince
2 tbsp tomato purée
large splash Worcestershire sauce
500ml beef stock
900g potatoes, cut into chunks
85g butter
3 tbsp milk

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tbsp sunflower oil in a medium saucepan, then soften 1 chopped onion and 2-3 chopped carrots for a few mins.
  • When soft, turn up the heat, crumble in 500g lamb mince and brown, tipping off any excess fat.
  • Add 2 tbsp tomato purée and a large splash of Worcestershire sauce, then fry for a few mins.
  • Pour over 500ml beef stock, bring to a simmer, then cover and cook for 40 mins, uncovering halfway.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4, then make the mash. Boil the 900g potato, cut into chunks, in salted water for 10-15 mins until tender. Drain, then mash with 85g butter and 3 tbsp milk.
  • Put the mince into an ovenproof dish, top with the mash and ruffle with a fork. The pie can now be chilled and frozen for up to a month.
  • Bake for 20-25 mins until the top is starting to colour and the mince is bubbling through at the edges. (To bake from frozen, cook at 160C/fan 140C/gas 3 for 1 hr-1 hr 20 mins until piping hot in the centre. Flash under the grill to brown, if you like.)
  • Leave to stand for 5 mins before serving.
