what do add to shepherd's pie to boost it?

[NoahVale]

as a child my dm would put baked beans in, but i am not going to do that
i think carrots, celery mushrooms
any other suggestions?

Start with sofrito, then plenty of fresh garlic. Add lamb mince and brown it. Add a dash of HP sauce and a couple of teaspoons of gravy granules, rosemary and oregano, and some frozen peas. Salt and pepper. The potatoes for the mash should have butter milk and salt. Bang in the oven for 20 mins. Yum.

Jamaican scotch bonnet sauce (1 teaspoon) to the minced meat and cheddar cheese on top .

Failing that, Henderson's relish

Worcester sauce

Worcester sauce.

I make it with beef Mince as that's what the recipe I use calls it. I add a teaspoon of marmite as well as beef stock cubes and carrots. I grill the cheese on top. We love it

Grated chedder cheese melted on top of the potatoes.

Yum

Mushrooms, courgette, carrot in the mince. You can blend them if looking to disguise them!

I make the mash either with mustard or (vegan) cheese. You can also add breadcrumbs and mixed herbs to the top for added crunch.

I always add a layer of chopped frozen vegetables....

More lamb!

Seriously, Worcestershire sauce, peas, mushrooms carrot,celery and a bit of bacon.

I do half lamb mince and half green lentils.

Sweetcorn, mushroom ketchup, worcestershire sauce, curry powder, peas, baby butter beans (not all at once).

Sorry, can’t resist: that’s cottage pie.

But I agree it’s nicer.

I like adding some tinned tomatoes, dash of Worcester sauce and a little chilli, then more often than not I put cheese on top.

one of the deletions was a previously banned poster

and one was a link to father Ted,
odd

😂

Carrots and peas

I make mine with low fat minced and add celery carrots and onion..Add a squirt of tom puree .garlic puree and a tin of green lentils

i put cheese on top
used to put tinned tomatoes but DH complained!

carrot, onion and peas are the standard things. I put chopped tinned tomatoes and tomato puree in mine, too.

Also my dad used to use a “stew pack” in his. So it included things like swede and turnip.

Tomato purée, a crumbled Oxo cube and a hefty slug of red wine.

I add chilli flakes and red lentils, often mushrooms too. Sometimes I add red wine and have a mixture of sweet and big dl potatoes for the topping.

Cheese topping for sure!!!

Where do you get low fat lamb mince? I've only ever seen one type which always needs draining
