nolagyrl ,It's Ok. But the Irish Rovers Shepherd's Pie on this site is much better.9y
nolagyrl ,I thought this was pretty bland. The Irish Rovers Shepherd's Pie on this site is 100% better.10y
sweetie59 ,According to my English husband and several of my English friends, this is a "cottage pie" because Shepherd's pie is made with lamb. This is very close to my "cottage pie".11y
blessinge ,My husband and I loved this. I did make some changes though. I diced the carrots, added peas and mushrooms. When the wine was evaporated, I stirred in two tablespoons of flour, then added beef broth. It cooked down very nicely. Will definitely make this again.11y
brendanfearn ,It may indeed be delicious, but it simply is not shepherd's pie. It is cottage pie.12y
cooksalot1995 ,All that grating was more than I planned on, the end result was delicious. I think the reason for the onions to be grated rather than chopped is it helps to thicken the sauce so it isn't soupy.12y
kriston ,My family of 4 really liked this recipe. I added a half can of peas as a layer before mashed potatoes, & next time I will add a can of diced tomatoes. I will fix it again. :-)12y
rachwatch ,Tasty. Followed other reviewers advice and added spoon of flour. Meat sauce must be quite reduced. Fried carrots were tasty. We did three carrots for two - would have eaten more! Will cook again.12y
brendahsc ,Gordon Ramsey would never put beef in a SHEPHERDS PIE!!! it is called shepherds pie for a reason, it is made with lamb.12y
billiejoh3 ,MMMMM!!! Even my super picky toddlers wanted more. My husband said that the leftovers were great.13y
artolsav ,Delicious! I used catsup instead of tomato paste, and frozen peas and carrots instead of the grated carrot, and it was still terrific. I also used beef broth. I was worried it would be too rich, but it turned out great. I think it is important to really reduce down the meat and wine untill it really is almost gone. Otherwise, it will have too much liquid and not thicken up nicely.13y
wroper89 ,Good flavor, but the meat had far too much liquid. I also added mushrooms to the meat, which added a little more to it.13y
debbyb ,I was disappointed...the flavors were not full or strong enough.....I think it needed more veggies.....13y
debs20 ,This is the recipe form the F Word for Shepherd's pie, but the original is prepared with lamb; it is Cottage Pie with beef. Gordon's recipes for the two are similar, however.14y
downgoesthescotch ,Really enjoyed this shepherd's pie. I added more of the tomato paste and a bit of flour to thicken the broth and wine.14y
