Today, we are sharing our best shepherd’s pie recipe, so if you want to learn how to make shepherd’s pie, this video is for you! Shepherd’s pie, also known as cottage pie, is a comfort food staple. But do you know what makes shepherd’s pie special? It’s come a long way from its origins!

The original shepherd’s pies were baked in pastry crusts and used leftover roast meat combined with a savory gravy to bring it all together. When the dish made its way from Scotland to Ireland, they skipped the pastry and used their abundance of potatoes instead, creating the modern-day mashed potato topping. Now it is widely considered to be an Irish dish!

Since shepherd’s pie did away with the pastry, its “pie” status has been questioned in a very official manner. It turns out that the Brits are serious about pie: According to a petition calling to “make wrongly describing a casserole with a pastry lid as a pie a criminal offence,” we shouldn’t be calling shepherd’s pie a pie at all! The petitioners argued that a pie must have a top and base of pastry; a casserole covered by a puff pastry—or mashed potatoes—isn’t enough. (Spoiler alert: It only received half of the requested 10,000 signatures). Regardless of what it’s called, this dish is a truly delicious comfort food staple!
