This is no where near authentic, but as the title says, it is quick and easy. We all liked it, especially the kids, two of which, would hardly eat anything. This was great for one of those hurry-up meals. I got this from an old Betty Crocker cookbook. Prep time includes browning the meat.

Tips:
- Choose the right ground meat: For a classic shepherd's pie, lamb is the traditional choice, but you can also use beef, pork, or a combination of meats. If you're using lamb, look for ground lamb that is at least 85% lean.
- Don't overcook the meat: The meat should be cooked through, but not overcooked, or it will become tough. Cook the meat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it is no longer pink.
- Use a flavorful gravy: The gravy is what really makes shepherd's pie special. Use a good quality beef broth or stock, and add fresh herbs, vegetables, and spices to taste. You can also add a splash of red wine or beer for extra flavor.
- Layer the pie properly: The traditional order of layers in shepherd's pie is meat, vegetables, mashed potatoes, and cheese. Make sure to press the mashed potatoes down firmly so that they form a seal on top of the pie.
- Bake the pie until it is golden brown: Bake the shepherd's pie in a preheated oven until the mashed potatoes are golden brown and the filling is bubbling. This usually takes about 30-35 minutes.
Conclusion:
Shepherd's pie is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a cold winter night. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious and hearty shepherd's pie that the whole family will love.
