anyone have a good shepherd's pie recipe?

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.

Holy shite that link looks like a lot of work.

Just look up a recipe on food.com.

I normally don't contribute if I don't have a recipe but I will make two points.

1. Don't skimp on worchestire sauce. It tastes awesome in this dish.

2. Put the mashed potatoes in an icing bag and use it to make a layer of teardrops on the top. The top should look something like a meat tenderizing mallet. Then sprinkle cheese on top and put it under a low broil. When the cheese starts melting, up broil to high until the tops of the potato peaks start browning like a marangue. Makes for awesome presentation.

Actually it was made with lamb, hence the name shepards pie. And I've never had one with cheese in it. A beef pie has a different name but I'm not sure what it is called.

If you smooth the potatoes over like a frosting then run a fork through it you get the same browning as above posted.

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.

i made some with ground beef, ground pork, and green onion pork sausage. OMG it hit the spot.

Yupp that'll eat

Sure.

But did the Shepard eat that one posted above with crawfish and cheese?

Exactly. Right when I saw the thread I thought of the bastardized versions of shepherd's pie the proletariat 'round these parts would offer up as a good recipe.
