Shepards Pie and what else??

chips and nothing else?
Seriously all the veg like carrots etc should be in the pie so you do not actually need anything else, maybe a side salad! Though its lovely with chips As you said though there is already enough potato.

Broccoli or green beans.

I had a lovely shepards pie last weekend

We made the pie and had a portion of that and a corn-on-the-cob for a bit of a change What about celery? Brocolli? Delicious

What is your recipe? We have the carrots in the pie in the oven!

Our recipe:
500g Minced beef
5-6 Potatoes
3-4 Carrots
3 Parsnips
One tin garden peas
Shepards Pie stock (Colemans)

Brown mince in pan,
Peel and boil/steam potatos,
Peel and chop carrots and parsnips,
Drain and rinse peas

Make up stock as per instructions
Place mince, veg and stock in Pyrex-type oven dish
Mash potatos (season with salt, butter, chives if desired) and layer on top of mince.
Place in oven at 200 C for 30 mins.
(Optional: Five minutes before pie is due out of oven grate some cheese and layer on top).

Normally whatever I can find in the fridge is thrown in.
Peppers, chili, onions, mushrooms, carrotts, peas, spring onion etc. Comes out absolutely beautiful. GF refuses to eat it though, even though she says it "smells lovely", she refuses to taste it cos that not how it should be made!!! Maddness. Doesn't know what she's missing.


Boil potatoes and add butter, pepper, salt and parsley.
Brown mince and then throw everything in on top of it at a medium heat, stir fry style for a few minutes.
Add sheperds pie stock and stir until it starts simmering.
Put the whole lot into a pyrex bowl and spread the potato over it.
Brush some milk onto the top of the potatoe and stick it in the oven for 25-30mins at 200. Should be nice and crispy on top then.
