Easy Shepard’s Pie Recipe
This Easy Shepherd’s Pie Recipe is really good, and as the title suggests, it is very easy to make! The beef had a lot of flavor and I think would be fine to use those flavors for lamb or even ground turkey if you wanted a little healthier version. You can even sprinkle cheddar cheese on the top of the mashed potatoes before putting this dish into the oven, and it will turn out nice and crispy! I like to add a layer of cheddar cheese over the meat – in between the meat and the veggies – for a little fun twist sometimes! That is my daughter Angeline’s favorite way for me to make it, but then again, she prefers that I add cheese to everything.

Now, I actually used ground venison when I made this cheesy easy Shepard’s pie recipe for dinner for the family the other night. Angeline remarked on how great it tasted and I told her that I had used the venison – she actually loves deer meat, so she wasn’t upset at all! When I asked Chris what he thought, he said that it was good…when I told him that I used venison, he said, “Oh that’s why it tasted weird.” So either he didn’t really like it and was being nice, or just knowing that it wasn’t beef changed his opinion after the fact! Ha!
nom nom nom one of my favorites!! I can wait for my cheat day!
my husband loves shepards pie but there is NOTHING easy about my recipe.
I;ve never had shepards pie but I bet my kids would love it. Thanks for the easy recipe.
This was yummy.. my husband really liked it too.. I added bacon & uses ground Turkey instead of beef..
Oh now I’m going to have to add bacon to it the next time! Yum!
Did you use can peas and corn or frozen? Is it 2 cups of each (carrots, peas, corn) or 2 cups total?
Shepherds’ Pie – traditionally made with leftover roast lamb.
This seems like a great way to do it but I don’t think my husband would go for venison
This looks yummy. Thank you for sharing. I am pinning to make it this fall/winter.
