Traditional Shepherd's Pie image

British comfort food! This recipe requires ground lamb; if using ground beef, then it is called "Cottage Pie". I have used ground deer (venison) and elk for this recipe also; marinating the deer in a little red wine overnight mellows out the gamey flavor.

This recipe is a bit bland for my taste. I had to add some extra salt and pepper to give it some flavor.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my shepherd's pie turned out a bit dry. I think I might have overcooked the ground beef. Other than that, the flavors were great.
