Shepherd's Pie


An easy pie that anyone, even the kids, can make. The name probably came from the time when leftover mutton was minced and used. This is a slightly more upmarket version - they would not have used cheese, nutmeg or bacon in the traditional recipe.

 

  • 3 or 4 rashers of bacon
  • 500gm potatoes, boiled and mashed
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • 500gm minced meat, cooked
  • 2 tomatoes
  • 1 onion
  • 45gm grated cheese
  • ¼ cup bread crumbs

 

  1. Fry the bacon until it is crisp.
  2. Crumble it and add it the mashed potatoes; add the nutmeg at the same time.
  3. Put a layer of the cooked meat in an ovenproof dish and cover it with sliced tomato and thinly sliced onion.
  4. Repeat the layers until the ingredients have all been used.
  5. Spread the potato mixture evenly over the top and sprinkle the cheese over it.
  6. Cook at about 180°C to 200°C until the cheese is golden brown. 
Traditionally, the cook probably put the meat in one layer, but this version looks nicer when served carefully.
