I had never heard of shepherd's pie until I had to eat dormitory food. The version they made was wretched, so I never warmed up to it. Not a big fan of lamb, but if we're eating baby animals, I'll try it with veal.

SilvrBck said:I just got back from Philly where I had some great shepherd's pie and I'd like to try making it myself. This is what I'm going to do:
Does this sound legit? I'm debating on the tomato...
- Coursely grind some top sirloin
- Sautee some onion
- brown the meat with the onion
- add in some primary veal stock, a spoonful of tomato paste, worchestershire, S&P, a touch of beef bullion concentrate, a couple dashes Tabasco, and simmer for a while
- thicken with a small amount of roux if necessary
- make up some roasted garlic mashed taters
- put it in a casserole dish and top with parmigiano reggiano
- bake til brown and bubbly
