Tips & Tricks (5)

Potato Topping Perfection 🥔
Whip your mashed potatoes with sour cream and butter to create a lighter, fluffier topping that browns beautifully in the oven.
Flavor Layering Technique 🌶️
Bloom your dried herbs and spices in oil before adding ground beef to intensify their aromatics and develop deeper flavor complexity.
Vegetable Prep Hack 🥕
Dice frozen vegetables slightly smaller to ensure even cooking and prevent large chunks in your final dish.
Umami Boost 🧂
Add a tablespoon of beef base or extra Worcestershire sauce to enhance the meat's savory depth and richness.
Golden Crust Secret 🔥
Finish your shepherds pie under the broiler for 2-3 minutes to create a crispy, golden-brown potato topping with beautiful color variation.
