FAQ – EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE COOKING

How long does shepherd's pie take to cook?

Bake shepherd’s pie at 375°F (190°C) for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is golden and the filling is bubbling. You can broil it for a few extra minutes at the end to brown the top more evenly.

How to crisp the top of shepherd's pie easily?

To crisp the top, spread the mashed potatoes evenly, then drag a fork across the surface. Add a sprinkle of cheese or breadcrumbs, then broil for 2–3 minutes until golden and slightly crunchy.

What seasoning go into shepherd's pie?

Classic shepherd’s pie uses thyme, garlic, salt and pepper. For a Mexican twist, add cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, and chipotle. These bold flavours go great with corn, beans, and seasoned beef.

What can I put in shepherd’s pie instead of corn?

You can swap corn with black beans, red peppers, or sautéed zucchini. In a Mexican-style shepherd’s pie, try a mix of beans, tomatoes, and spiced vegetables to add depth and texture.

What can I put in shepherd’s pie for extra flavour?

To boost flavour, add caramelized onions, roasted garlic, or bold spices like cumin, chili powder or chipotle. A touch of shredded cheese on top or mixed into the mashed potatoes also adds richness.
