The recipe was simple to follow, I usually season the ground beef with a lot of different seasonings but as I was cooking I noticed I didn't need any other seasoning. I did add corn to my recipe because I love the way it tastes in previous recipes I've tried. Everything else I did as directed by your simple amazing recipe. Once again thank you for the delicious recipe, I will definitely be repeating this dish as it has become my favorite by far!

It is now my go-to St. Patrick's dinner. Today I'm making it for a pre-Thanksgiving dinner for friends and family. It was easy to double (maybe need to go a little light on the beef stock) and I'm making it ahead of time and just serving with a light salad. Thanks so much for this one.

I have about 3 different recipes for this dish, which, by the way, in the US we do use the name, Shephard's Pie no matter the meat used. So my current recipe calls for sage in both the veggie/meat mixture and the mashed potatoes and yours doesn't call for it, but the thyme, Worcestershire and beef broth are perfect. Didn't include the wine, though and it was perfect! Thanks for this very wonderful recipe; all my other ones are goin' in the trash! <br /><br />Mtn Girl<br />www.thelighterburden.blogspot.comMountain Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02881425039506649905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9016562871678830662.post-27562277333021430672013-11-08T18:45:16.421-06:002013-11-08T18:45:16.421-06:00I live in the midwest, we use a similar recipe and...I live in the midwest, we use a similar recipe and we always called it Shepherds Pie.

Shepard’s Pie, Cottage Pie, or even Gardeners Pie, which is what vegetarians call their version, is meant to be an easy and tasty way to use up leftovers, whatever they may be. If you have leftover pork you could call it Piggy Pie…but seriously a name is just a name is just a name…call it whatever you like. The name does not change the fact that this is a fabulous recipe that I have personally made in my own kitchen; it truly is a delicious comfort food enjoyed by all.<br /> <br />The majority of us who follow this Blog do so because we are interested in wonderful recipes that we can recreate in our own homes. Personally speaking, I sincerely appreciate Julie’s efforts and willingness to share her recipes with us. It takes both a lot of time and energy to keep a Blog going, and rather than bashing her over something as trivial as a name, we should be thanking her for her time and readiness to share.<br /> Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11314890647081516054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9016562871678830662.post-74611849387501751162013-09-16T17:37:19.435-05:002013-09-16T17:37:19.435-05:00I agree with the two comments made in response to ...I agree with the two comments made in response to the "Anonymous" comment. I made this Saturday night and it was delicious. I can't imagine most folks not knowing the general idea of "Sheperd's Pie". Basically, Julie inspires me to cook and I love how she explains each step for those of us that aren't naturals in the kitchen.

We get a glimpse into someone else's kitchen, and we take back something to add to our own. I personally have several recipes that have been passed back and forth that may have differing terminology from what other's prefer, but my interpretation of what I am trying to achieve does not matter--just the end result. In this case, the end result is simply something yummy and enticing that was born out of putting a new or different spin on something traditional. Why be so negative and critical of someone else's recipe? If a recipe name is that offensive, would it not be best to agree to disagree and simply move on? Is it really worth being critical and hurtful in the end? If the recipe intrigues you enough to take back to your kitchen, take the parts you like and leave the parts you don't.
