To get started with this particular recipe, we have to first prepare a few components. You can cook shepherd's pie using 7 ingredients and 8 steps. Here is how you can achieve that.

The ingredients needed to make Shepherd's Pie:
  1. Prepare 1 2-4 Pounds- ground beef (I normally use 2 lbs)
  2. Take 2 can Cream of Mushroom Soup
  3. Take 1 can Sweet whole kernel corn

Shepherd's Pie comes to us from England, and is traditionally made with lamb or mutton. Here in the states we are more of a beef eating culture than a lamb eating one, and when one is served "shepherd's pie" here, it is most often made with ground beef. Shepherd's pie is traditionally made with a ground-lamb filling, but we make ours with ground beef. The sauce is really simple and flavorful, but the best part is the insanely fluffy mashed potato.

Steps to make Shepherd's Pie:
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F and get out a 13x9 baking dish.
  2. Start a pot on the stove for your potatoes. Fill it about 3/4 full with some hot water to speed up the boiling process. (You can use instant potatoes if you prefer.)
  3. Next, get a skillet or frying pan going with the beef in it. While waiting for the ground beef to brown, cube your potatoes and dump them into the pot when it's boiling.
  4. Empty your cream of mushroom into a bowl and add enough milk in to make it a nice somewhat thin creamy mixture. (Don't make it so thin that it's like water.) Pour that evenly over the beef.
  5. Evenly pour the corn over the soup mixture.
  6. Sprinkle however much cheese you want.
  7. Lastly, when you're done preparing them add the mashed potatoes. *To make it easier, what I do is plop all the potatoes in the middle. Then use a rubber spatula to start in the middle and without lifting ur spatula, drag the potatoes to the edge of the dish. When you get to the edge, clean your spatula using the dish's edge and that way it also seals the top at the same time :) (If you start lifting your spatula before you get to the edge of the dish, you'll lift your cheese up and it'll make a mess.)
  8. Set the timer for 20-25 minutes. Everything is already cooked so all you're doing is heating everything up.

Traditionally, shepherd's pie is made with lamb (hence the name). However, as the dish gained wider popularity outside of its native English homeland (where using beef would make this a cottage pie), beef became a common substitute, especially in America where it's more widely available than ground lamb.
