Recipe for Shepherd's Pie

How to make Shepherd's Pie

1. 1. Heat the oven to 180C. Grease a casserole dish with butter.

2. 2. Finely dice the onion, then fry the minced beef and onion in butter (half the amount of butter indicated in the list of ingredients) on a medium heat until the mince browns and the onion softens. Stir occasionally to stop large lumps from forming (about 10 minutes).

3. 3. Add the frozen vegetables and meat broth to the mince, and boil everything together for around 5 minutes, then add the marjoram, and salt and pepper to taste.

4. 4. Wash and peel the potatoes and boil them in salted water. Add the milk and remaining butter to the boiled and drained potatoes, then mash them.

5. 5. Transfer the mixture of mince and vegetables (drained of excess liquid) to the previously prepared casserole dish. Place the mashed potatoes on top of the hot mixture and cook for 35 to 45 minutes until the potatoes brown.
