What could be better than that. That’s why you have to try our Shepherd’s Pie recipe. It’s deliciously cozy and comforting. Plus, we have a few tricks that make it a breeze to toss together.
Once browned, we stir tomato paste and Worcestershire sauce into the ground beef. The paste adds concentrated flavor and helps thicken the meat mixture, while Worcestershire gives it umami richness. For a double dose of veggie goodness, we stir in frozen peas and carrots. Talk about easy! To make our take on the classic just a touch more elegant we pipe rosettes using pre-made mashed potatoes.
