I always get excited about super-sized servings of this dish when I’m out. Now I get to enjoy it from my own kitchen!

Shepherd’s Pie has always been a beloved comfort food from across the pond, combining meaty goodness with creamy mashed potatoes. It is traditionally made with lamb, but today’s versions often use ground beef, which might be more palatable for the kids and easier to find in our local grocery. My take on this cozy classic adds a layer of melted cheddar on top, making it irresistible after a long day. This cheddar-topped shepherd’s pie is just perfect for gathering the family around the dinner table!

This hearty dish is a standalone winner, but if you want to add a little extra to your meal, a side of steamed green beans or a crisp salad works wonders. For a heartier meal, consider serving with some crusty bread to soak up all those delicious juices. And don’t forget, a mild red wine or a frosty glass of milk pairs beautifully with the rich flavors of the pie.
