CHEDDAR-TOPPED SHEPHERD'S PIE
Old-style pubs have it right: Sitting down to a generous helping of shepherd's pie is a true pleasure; making it is happily simple. We've added sharp cheddar to our mashed potatoes for a snappy topping.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place potatoes in a large saucepan, and cover by 1 inch with salted water. Bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer. Cook until potatoes are easily pierced with the tip of a paring knife, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat oil in a 5-quart Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium-high. Add carrots, celery, onion, and thyme. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Add flour and tomato paste; cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add beef; cook, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink, 6 to 8 minutes. Add 1 cup water; bring to a boil, and simmer 1 minute. Set beef filling aside.
- Drain potatoes; return to pan. Cook over medium, stirring, until liquid has evaporated and a thin film covers bottom of pan, about 1 minute. Remove pan from heat; add milk and 1 cup cheese. Mash until smooth; season cheddar-potato topping with salt and pepper.
- Pour beef filling into a 13-by-9-inch baking dish. Drop dollops of topping over filling; spread to edges with a spatula. Using a fork, make decorative peaks; sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Bake until topping is browned and filling is bubbling rapidly, about 20 minutes (if topping and filling were chilled, increase to 35 minutes). Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

SUMMER VEGGIE SHEPHERD'S PIE WITH GOUDA
My nontraditional shepherd's pie. It comes out creamy because of the gouda and can use up some of the summer vegetables from the garden. Isn't too unhealthy either, as far as comfort food goes :)

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Grease an oblong baking dish with non stick spray.
- Brown beef with onion and garlic; drain grease.
- Stir in 1/2 can of cheddar soup, corn and Parmesan cheese to meat mix.
- Add remaining cheese soup and ranch to prepared potatoes; blend well.
- Pour meat mix into baking dish and top with potatoes and sprinkle with cheddar cheese.
- Poke 6 holes into pie with the end of a wooden spoon (So the pie can breathe).
- Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the Shepherd's Pie will be. Use fresh, flavorful vegetables, and a good quality ground beef or lamb.
- Don't overcook the meat: The meat should be cooked through, but not dry. Overcooked meat will make the Shepherd's Pie tough.
- Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the key ingredients in Shepherd's Pie. Use a cheese that melts well and has a good flavor.
- Make sure the filling is thick enough: The filling should be thick enough to hold its shape when it is spooned into the baking dish. If the filling is too thin, it will be runny and the Shepherd's Pie will not hold together.
- Bake the Shepherd's Pie until the top is golden brown: The Shepherd's Pie should be baked until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. This ensures that the Shepherd's Pie is cooked through and the cheese is melted.
Conclusion:
Shepherd's Pie is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious Shepherd's Pie that your whole family will love.
