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.

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.

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.

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.

Paul prudhomme's recipe is really good, too

Crawfish boil with potatoes and corn.
Left over crawfish on bottom.
Cut corn off cob for layer 2.
Mash potatoes for layer 3
Add cheese.
Bake to melt cheese.

Point taken but it still was a simple way to prepare leftovers that has strayed far from its origins.

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

My grandparents are from England and they usually use ground beef it's just cheaper. Also cheese? Since when?

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.
