Laura Vitale, You are my FAVORITE Chef, I feel all your recipes are easy, and you are such a warm person. I so enjoy the way you tell how to make your recipes and I've tried so many so far.... KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK and " KEEP IT REAL."
This was delicious. (Almost) as good as how we make it in England.
May I clear up the issue of what this dish is actually called, without folks having a go at me. My Granny taught me how to make it, donkeys years ago, and told me the difference between the English version and the Welsh version.
This version is actually the English COTTAGE pie, made with ground beef (or minced beef as we call it in England), named so because the golden potato top resembled the thatched roofs of the old English cottages.
SHEPHERDS pie is the Welsh version, made with lamb mince. (The clue is in the name). Both are equally as delicious, so what the heck what we call it.
I understand it is trivial in the name, however it's not. I just wish people would call it what it is, it is not that difficult.. There is a totally difference in flavor from Shepherd's to Cottage pie. I love them both.
I agree entirely, a Shepard's pie is always made with Lamb and a Cottage Pie is made with ground Beef 🥕🌶️
Looks delicious! I’m looking forward to trying this recipe. Where I live in Australia, a Shepard’s Pie is made with lamb, when it’s made with beef it’s called a Cottage Pie :) Cheers!
This is one of those recipes that is soooooo good on a cold winter’s day. It just warms your belly.
Hi Laura, accidentally took this recipe to a whole new level. I had failed to buy enough ground beef so I rummaged through the freezer and found some mild Italian sausage. Defrosted in microwave and removed the sausage from it's casing. Followed your recipe except for leaving out the Worcestershire sauce as I did not think is was needed with the spiced sausage. Wow, best shepherds pie I ever made. 2/3 ground beef 1/3 Italian sausage. Give it a try and you'll never go back. Love your stuff !! (Vancouver, Canada)
That's proper cooking, chap. Improvise, adapt and improve. Wizard!
Ooo italian sausage that sounds yummy!
@@mellisapollom2241 I like of the reper
WRONG AGAIN,its not shepherds pie , its cottage pie shepherds pie is made with lamb, can you see the connection shepherds look after sheep, not steers
@@colinellis8661 and if made with turkey, like I always do, is it Gobbler’s Pie? 🤓
Laura, you have taught me so much. Last years Thanksgiving was awesome because of what I learned from your cooking shows. Thank you
Actually, this is a Cottage Pie. Exact same thing as Shepherd's Pie except Cottage Pie is made with beef and Shepherd's Pie is made with lamb.
My words exactly.
Exactly! It gets my knickers in a know when people (especially cooks!) don't know the difference!! I've never heard of shepherds herding cows, lol.
@@dilemmix My border collie herds cattle 🤣
Not a big deal. She already mentioned it lol
What do you call it if you cook it with ground turkey or chicken perhaps a "coop pie"
Made it 3 times so far and everybody loves it.
You're a sweetie with a lot of talent
I put a layer of shredded cheddar cheese between the beef and mashed potato layers! It's my favorite addition. To the potatoes, I add a little bit of heavy cream, sour cream and butter to add some creaminess and extra flavor. I also add a little bit of cheddar, salt and pepper to the potatoes.
Personally, I never put celery or wine im mine. But I ALWAYS grate some strong cheddar cheese over the top befor the last five minutes in the oven and it gives the mashed potato a cheesy crispy topping. Mmmm😊
Isn't that the greatest joys of cooking? do what you like, way to go Laura for sharing what you like.

Hi Laura, just watched this video and i thought I would mention that lamb is indeed the correct meat for shepherds pie, and beef for cottage pie, they are both traditional English recipes and I live in the UK, love your channel, you always cheer up my day.
I just did it and it's amazing!!!
Thanks Laura for all your recipes!!!
that is the definition of smile and hug your self comfort food!
I made this last night and my whole family loved it!! That was the first time I saw my little brother finished all on his plate 😭 Thank you so much for the amazing recipe Laura! Love you❤️
Every one of your recipes that I’ve made has been such a hit. At this point, I will make one of your recipes for the very first time when I’m entertaining, I don’t even stress over whether my guests will like it. I know they will LOVE it.
That looks lovely - going to make it for dinner today. Thanks Laura for all your lovely easy to follow recipes and cooking techniques
Ohh I love you Laura .. I've made about 90% your recipes... Xoxo
I just made this and it came out pretty good 😋. I totally agree with using tomato paste and no ketchup
I love everything you cook don't ever stop being you my husband loves me watching your videos cuz then he knows he's getting a great meal that night keep up the good work
I have made this dish several times. It is excellent! However, it took me a long time to make it (approximately two hours), but well worth it. My husband loves it! I've tried many of Laura's recipes and have never been disappointed. She is my go to chef!
I have just discovered you today and I'm very happy that I did! I love the way you cook! I also learned why my and my daughters mashed potatos came out like paste a few times. I excited to tell her what I learned from you. Thank you so much!
Had this the other night and it was great! Thanks Laura!
You just changed the course of my life. Thank you for this.
Girl, everything you cook could win an award!!
That looks so good.I make it with brown gravy instead of the tomato and I put sharp cheddar cheese on top.
looks wonderful, hope to make it soon!
I cooked the dish this weekend. It turned out perfect. Everyone loved it. Thank you from Luxembourg.
That looks delicious and MS. Laura. Love to watch you cook and I will be making this soon!
My first time making shepherds pie and I loved it!!! Really good recipe!!! ❤️ Thank you!!
I’m making this today because it seems like a fabulous recipe!! Hope I don’t mess it up!! So, in the U.K. a shepherds pie is made with lamb (think shepherd and sheep) and cottage pie is what you’re actually making with beef mince! ❤️
Amazing. Thanks for sharing. Really enjoyed watching.
If I were her husband I'd be so proud of her! Really cute, not afraid of the kitchen & can cook, has cooking tutorials, probably feels good about herself. I would like to try this one day. The large glass bowl I wonder where I can get one? I have small ones for ingredients, but it would be a good accent.
Lol Dan
+rickames ikea usually has bowls like that. Who the heck is afraid of the kitchen? =)
Folks that don't like to cook...duh Lol.
Ohhhh...well sometimes truth hurts. Take care.
I don't know if it's a Canadian or a Quebec thing.. but we do ground beef & onions, then corn, and top it off with buttery mashed potatoes with a sprinkle of paprika. Tastes best with some ketchup too!
Fantastic recipe!
what a great recipe! you make it so easily
Love you Lara,your recipes are always the best!!
Just made this for supper and the meat mixture smells divine ❤️🍴
I made this and it was delicious ! My fiancé loved it ! Thanks Laura !!!
Thank you Laura you inspire me everyday you are excellent God Bless❤
That absolutely looks fantastic. I'll be making this soon. Thanks for the upload Laura.
Thanks so much. you always have such nice videos
This is sooo good! I made it tonight with ground turkey and it was great! I have tried many of your recipes and they were all fabulous...I wish there was a way to have a "hater blocker" on here. People are always trying to show off what they know...you said traditional it's lamb and that there are many ways to make this dish but still people must comment on what you have already addressed. Anyways, keep up the great job...you are a food genius :)
Kerri-Mae Ashley allllllll rite....rite on! aaAAmeeeeen
I never tried it with ground turkey. I will have to now.
I have no doubt your family thinks you are a wonderful cook, but I find your technique is only so so and your unfamiliarity with an actual Sheppard’s Pie disappointing. Sheppards Pie is a lamb dish. Cottage Pie is a beef dish. You may have created a tasty dish, but I certainly would not refer to it as Sheppards Pie
So if you made it with turkey it can be shepherds pie or cottage pie heaven forbid what shall we call it? Lol.
Yum this Shepard's looks so good Laura! Thank you! Love your recipes!
A delicious recipe Laura! I added some parsley to the veggies and sprinkled sweet paprika on the potatoes. Best ever.
I like adding corn and green beans to the meat mixture. Never too many veggies:-) Also, I like to mash some cooked butternut squash into the potato topping.
i make shepherd pie with sweet potato instead of white.. much more healthy and taste deliciously sweet..
CurlsOfaJamaicanJourno I will try that
CurlsOfaJamaicanJourno I like using sweet potatoes! This is a splendid idea! I will have to try sweet potatoes as well.
CurlsOfaJamaicanJourno That is a great idea
That actually sounds really good but it's not that big of a difference in heathy though
CurlsOfaJamaicanJourno yum! Officially doing that for thanksgiving! thanks!
I have tried many sheps recipes. Laura's the best by far!!!
I like the way you cook! so nonchalant but instructional also pretty.
I subbed here because the format reminds me of my childhood watching Food Network with people like Rachel Ray, Emeril Lagasse and such, now Food Network is all competition and just people eating food, I want the actual cooking shows back!
Me too. The only competition show I watch is "Chopped”
hi, I'm Tianna and I'm 9 years old. I don't actually make your recipes but I watch your videos just for the sake of looking at your food. I don't mind what other bad comments others put cause even if i agree on one of them which I don't, i won't care!
This recipe is really good! Lady knows what she's doing!
Thank you Laura. My second attempt ( my first was wonderful) and I used ALL your ingredients this time and a perfect result.
I had used powder mash potatoes BUT now I know that is third best!
You people argue whether it is called Shepherds Pie or Cottage pie? Tomato or tomatoe - let's call the whole thing off! Who cares, OK? Just make the recipe what ever way you like and eat.
It is the same with Texas chili, beans or no beans. However, there are no shepherd's around beef cattle. They are shepherd's with lamb.. That is why it is called Shepherd's pie because it is made with lamb.. Very simple... It is still great, I am not taking away from Laura at all. I did a like on this vid.. but would you call a sweet potato pie a pumpkin pie that was made with sweet potatoes?
@@scotttexasbornandbred1063 You, man, have issues. Listen to Laura's video again. She explained. Some people just want an argument. It just depends which part of the country you come from and Texans aren't always right. So make "The Pie", with turkey, chicken, pork, bison, lamb or goat. Bon appetite!
@@lynnnelson6689No we are not always right agrees. And as said before I am not taking away from Laura and her recipe. Your part of the country has nothing to do with it here in the US. Hey to each their own. It's all good! Don't say I have issues.
@@lynnnelson6689 Wow, what would you call it with bison? Prairie pie?
@@stevemee6640 Wow, never thought about it but I think "Bison Pie".
That looks so good and your amazing I love how you show everything in detail and explain it so well. Most cooking videos I watch aren't as detailed and ii hate that! 💯% thumbs up for you &' subscribing :) x
I love you, you are my favorite person to get recipes from.
I am going to make this tomorrow. Looks delicious and easy, thanks for sharing this winner.
I made this last time and it tasted so delish! Next time I may add less tomato paste since it was a bit too sour.
didn't realize shepards pie was so easy :D I love how your recipes are always so doable. Thanks again
I’ve been waiting all summer for cool weather to come to North Central Florida so I could make this again. That day has arrived! Can’t wait to dig in! 👍👍
looks delicious laura thanks for the recipe
I love the way you made your Shepherd pie I am going to make it😛😛👍👍👏👏👏
I make my shepherd's pie with 1 pound of ground beef half a cup onion cook together add 1 can of whole kernel corn add 1 can of cream of chicken soup mixed together 1 tablespoon of garlic powder and 2 tablespoons of sour cream mix all together add 4 cups of sharp cheddar an mix together a add to your baking dish put mashed potatoes or tater tots on top add just a little bit more cheese on the top bake in the oven for 25 minutes on 375 let it for 10 minutes an serve its so good :) I love watching your videos
***** yeah you can make it with lamb and several other people use ground beef because lamb is too expensive or very hard to found but its amazing I make it all the time an its even better in a crock pot too :) if you ever try it my way you have to let me know how it turned out for you :)
Lilly Jasmine cool channel
I will try yours too. sounds great.
No. Shepards pie is lamb. You can make tuna salad with chicken, but is it still tuna salad?
Matthew Tarpey that's exactly what I was thinking lol.
You making cook like so much fun. Thank you for some cooking inspiration
I absolutely love watching your videos.
I think my jeans just got tighter from watching this. . . So delicious looking! How could anyone hit the dislike thumb?! Lol
I wear my jeans high and tight.
i like to cook a few purple sweet potatoes and mash it in with the potatoes, instead of paste i use chopped tomatoes and take out the acidity with a bit of sugar and sprinkle the top with lots of cheese to form a crispy top... yummy this recipe is my childhood favourite
Yummy
This turned out delicious!!! Thank you!
Thanks for the recipe, I love it.
Hey laura I m following every recipes of urs..today I tried this dish it turned out awesum...thx a lott...gotto learn very much from u...stay blessed...
In the Uk , we use minced lamb for Shepherds pie, minced beef for Cottage pie! 💓
It’s the other way round 🤣😂
@@TheMightsparrow maybe where you live, but shepherds definitely go with lamb!😇
I will try this recipe tomorrow, Looks Delicious.... Thanks for the Video!!
Yummy I've been wanting to try this. It look so good
It's funny that Laura already stated that this is traditionally with lamb but she is using ground beef. Not everyone likes lamb you can use what you want that is what cooking is all about you can add something that you like. I personally do not like lamb I do not like the taste of it, she could also feel the same way or the lamb is pretty price is a matter of preference.
They're not happy because she still insists on calling it shepherd's pie, which it isn't. It's a cottage pie. It's not a "variant" of shepherd's pie. It's a variant of cottage pie.
She called it that way, probably she did not know about cottage pie who knows. She did clarified about the lamb and beef which shows that she knew the traditional shepherds pie. Again she kept on saying you can do the traditional way she is going to change up a bit. That is what she does she changes many recipes and says if my nonna sees what im doing in the Italian tradtional recipe she would be angry. Even when she cooks with her father she changes things.
You just don't understand that she's calling it the wrong thing. It's not a shepherd's pie. It's a cottage pie. That's just a fact. And since she knew that it was properly made with lamb, she knows full well that she's making a cottage pie and not a shepherd's pie. You can change what you want but at least know wtf you're talking about.
I do understand and I am not Laura I do not know why she did not called it a cottage pie nor I know her to ask her. I just stated probably she did not know about cottage pie who knows. She has not responded to any comments so I do not know but she did stated you can do the traditional way or not. This is when people make a decision if they want to make a shepherds pie or not. Like I said I do not know if she knows about the cottage pie if anything contact her personally I do not know her to affirm anything.
***** They are not the same thing..at all..
Love it... I recommend adding real parmigiano reggiano with the potatoes
This is the first Shepherd's Pie Recipe that actually looks delicious! I will definitely make this.
Love all your recipes but this is really special.
interesting choice of ingrediants but ive always found with shepards pie that you can over do it on flavor. All you need is minced beef, carrots ,peas ,potatoes and some really tasty gravy, which if you cooked everything properly you will have in the finnished product. I drain all liquid off to make the gravy but just leave a little in the dish to steam throuh the filling. Still what a recipe and the gorgeous laura is right it varys from family to family.
I like it with roasted parsnips and carrots, and ground sirloin. :)
I just made this tonight and it came out perfect, my family loved it! The red wine really brought out the flavor!👍
Laura, love the recipe. I will make it for sure but I love adding about 1/2 cup corn niblets. Looks really nice and tastes great. Thanks very much.
11:51 Toot Toot! It's ok to toot your own horn Laura, lol. You're so cute.
I don't know why everyone's commenting to make her correction, since she already knows that it's made with lamb meat. She said in the beginning it's traditionally made with lamb meat. She just like's beef better, so she used it. No biggy.
So why call it "Shepard's Pie"? Why not call it "Cowboy Pie"?
If I posted a recipe for apple pie and used pears instead.....what would you say?.......
In England we call it Cottage pie if made with beef, and Shepherds pie if made with lamb because shepherds tend lambs.
@@ozzietadziu - Is that a joke or is there actually such a thing as Cowboy Pie? I'm from the Southeastern part of the U.S., so no cowboys here.
@@usbornereader5462 Shepherds tend sheep, but since this recipe is made from beef, it ought to be "Cowboy Pie".
thank you laura! once again another awesome recipe, made this for my family cuz we had a bunch of leftover mashed potatoes, and they loved it! dad said it was one of the best he's had
Thank you laura wonderful job and recipe.
Great cottage pie!
Shepard's pie is always lamb, beef makes it a cottage pie. looks delicious.
Eoin O Neill It does doesn't it. Id eat that.
In the US that is a shepards pie we never call it anything else in US
+Eoin O Neill we don't call it cottage pie in the US we call it shepards pie
Eoin O Neill ok..whatever this is a crazy argument have a good day I'm making Shepard pie with ground beef...lol..bye
Terminology is important, but I think the most important part is its delicious whether lamb or beef.
This recipe is so yummy. However I skipped the red wine but yet it tasted soooo good ! Looking forward to more recipes !!
I made this today and wow! Restaurant quality! Thanks Laura!
Hi laura love your videos, I just to give you a little tip in most of your videos I see you struggling with the plastic wrap seems like the roll keeps popping out, on every box of plastic, foil, wax paper there is tabs on the sides that you punch in and that tabs holds the roll in place a lot of people dont know the tabs are there, I was tired of the roll popping out too until I seen those tabs. Who knew!! Have an awesome day.
your welcome happy I could help.
that's cool I never knew that
I never knew that... omg
Making me hungry.... I wonder if adding mushrooms would enhance the flavor.... Yumm
NO NO NO mushrooms in shepherd's pie
My Son requested I make this for his birthday.
Your finished dish looks absolutely delicious.
I have made this many times and it always comes out great :-) thanks for the recipe! An all time favourite comfort food!
Truly Blessed it's Cottage with beef no sheep ain't shepherd don't care what she says
Excellent! But Laura... let's be realistic here. Red Wine is NEVER optional. It's essential. :)
But it's much better taken straight from the glass.:):):)
I only used beef, peas, carrots, onions, potatoes, milk, butter, salt, pepper and olive oil and it turned out great. So no need for the other stuff if you don't have it
Nick Lukich it's not shepherd pie that she made. Shepherd pie is made with lamb not beef.
Whitney Pyant it is shepherds pie because in different countries they use different meat and other people just have different preferences
Sophie Mckayleen when did you last see a shepherd look after a cow? No sheep ain't Shepherd. Pretty simple. Cottage is a more flexible term, usually it means beef but it can mean beef and other meat. Cottage usually means beef or combo meat pie. If you aren't sure what to call it call it pot pie. To avoid the butthurt bitches
Hi Laura,
I followed your recipe except I used Lamb instead of beef and frozen pearl onions instead of large chopped onion. It was amazing. My boyfriend loved it. Thank you so much. Have Blessed Merry Christmas. Peace and Blessings to you and your family ❤️🙏
Mine came out great. Much appreciated. Thank you.
I've seen it done with a layer of Paremesan on top as well,sounds and tastes interesting.....
Hahahaha I don't want to toot my own horn. love it
Just tried this out and its everything I thought it would be. Kids loved it too. Thanks Laura
I've got to try this in the near future. Looks delish!
