With Shepherd's Pie you really don't want to take any shortcuts. Anyone can make mashed potatoes and add green peas and ground beef and call it shepherd's pie .. as the cooks at my summer camp did. Check this one out from Food & Wine. LINK It reminds me of the SP I had at NY pubs. Have to put in some effort, but I bet the results are worth it.

Cook the ground meat with a bag of seasoning blend

Peas and carrots are a nice addition too. I don't like it too cheesy honestly.

season ground meat and brown it.

buy cans of sweet peas and cubed carrots (mixed)

mix ground beef with peas and carrots

pour it in an oven pan

pour a little tomato sauce and stir (optional)

boil potatoes

whip the hell out of them taters with sour cream and butter. make sure that it's thick enough so that a spoon could stand up in it.

spread mashed potatoes on top of meat.

sprinkle cheddar cheese on top of taters.

bake at 350 for 20 minutes.

Originally shepherd's pie was a simple way to prepare the leftovers from a Sunday roast beef dinner using the debris from the roast, the gravy, and the mashed potatoes. There really is not any better comfort food than that.

Making it fresh with ground beef defeats the entire purpose and doesn't yield near the satisfying result.

Lamb, good stock based gravy. I like leeks, mire poix, peas, fresh herbs. Potatoes through a food mill lots of butter and chive

Alton Brown's recipe on the Food Network website is pretty good. I use ground beef instead of the traditional lamb.
