Who likes Sheperd's Pie???

I thought I did like it, but then I ate it at a... Scottish Festival or something similar in St. Louis and hated it, so I'd been afraid to eat it ever since. But if there are different variations of it... that one you described sounds amazing!

Don't you think they gave you some haggis at the Scottish festival

My mom makes some weird version... it's hamburger with seasoning around the casserole dish, then has seasoned potato filling on the inside. Top with the seasoned hamburger and bake it. Drain the fat from the burger off as it bakes.

When I want sheperd's pie, I go to WaWa, and get theirs... it's basically beef stew on top of mashed potatoes. It's comfort food, and I like their version.

Cali you sound exactly like my 15 year old daughter lol.

Jods you are most welcome, i tell the truth.

I am making cottage pie tomorrow night for tea, yum. and my Ash love's me for it, he is my only cat that will eat the mince before it is cooked, he just love's it, would do handstands for it , if he were capable lol, none of the other kitties like it at all.

This is so wierd! I swear..I like to make different meals all the time, especially for my elder aunt and uncle who can only nuke a prepared meal. I was just thinking of making Shepard's Pie for the first time and was looking at Rachael Rays, Cooks. com, and cookbooks just to get an idea if spicing etc. This is like a Twight Zone moment because I JUST mentioned it to my brother about 1/2 hour ago!!!!! Someone gave me 10 pounds of red potatoes and I only used a few, so I need to use them before they go bad.

All the recipes sound awesome.. and me with 2 broken printers.

Edit; QUESTION...
Some Recipes mention tomato soup or gravy in the casserole.Can you still add cheese on top? I never had cheese and a brown gravy mixture. Tomato, yes...

Also..if I'm making some for my relatives-will they be able to nuke the leftovers?

Shepherd's pie is one of the great favourites around here. I make mine the way we always had it as a kid. Extra lean ground beef, browed and drained with lots of onions, corn on top of the meat and seasoned mashed potatoes on top with grated cheddar cheese....yummm.
