What do you put in your shepherds pie...

[QPootle]

Interested and looking for inspiration really.

I've got

Onions
Hidden Carrotts, celery & mushrooms
Beer (leftover)
Mince
Couple of Bay Leave, Salt & Pepper
Tiny squirt of tomato puree.

Garlic olive oil
Diced Onion
Half a teaspoon chilli powder
Mushrooms (chopped small so kids dont know)
Healthy living mince
Crumble in beef oxo & add some water
Half a tin of baked beans
Capful of mushroom ketchup
Squirt of tomato puree

Oh & I put a bit of cheese on the potato then stick it under the grill.

Kids love it!

my children dont relaise i use more grated carrot than mince

I use lean mince beef, onion, red pepper, and a tin of tomatoes (drained) then I still whoosh it up in a blender like I did when I was weaning my son - minced meat tastes soo much nicer that way. I sometimes just put plain mash on top and then bung it in the oven to crisp up on top for about 20 mins , but sometimes I used half potato/half parsnip mash, and sometimes sweet potato mash. If you are not allergic like me you could also try grated cheese on top.

Bountiful norks out this evening

lamb, onion, celery, carrot, rosemary, bay, chicken stock, dash of balsamic, ditto worcester, sometimes soy, sometimes gravy browning, sometimes puy or brown lentils, never never never never tomatoes. Its shepherds pie not bolganese. I complained to the shop Cook because even though their horrid shepherds pie had tomatoes in it was dry and tasteless and all they could do was agree and say yes its not very good is it! Apparantly they've got some competition running for a new recipe.

Minced lamb
Carrots
Onion
Veggie stock
Parsley
Lea & Perrins Worcester Sauce
Mash potato

Serve with green beans

the secret ingredient is cinnamon,a good sprinkling in the mince tastes delicishiousis
