Alton Brown's shepherd's pie recipe is a hearty casserole of ground lamb, classic English vegetables and a golden mashed potato crust. A true shepherd's pie is made with lamb while a cottage pie is made with beef. In the US, I notice that it is often called a shepherd's pie when it really is just a cottage pie. Since the type of meat used is the only real difference in this dish, I find most have a version using beef that they call shepherd's pie even if it technically.

Instructions to make Classic Shepherd's Pie:

1. Making the Mashed Potato: - Peel and quarter the potatoes. - Boil in water for about 20 - 25 minutes, until you are able to poke through the potato easily with a fork. - Remove from water and allow potatoes to cool. - Mash potatoes in a large bowl with a potato masher or a fork. - Add the milk and butter in gradually. - Blend in until the mash becomes a smooth consistency. - Add salt and pepper to taste.
2. Making the Meat Filling: - Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan. - Saute the clove and onions for a few minutes. - Next, add carrots and mushrooms. - Saute till the carrots are soft. - Add the ground beef. - Stir fry till beef turns light brown. - Add the dark soy sauce for color. - Add the green peas and corn. - Add salt, pepper and seasoning to taste. - Add water and allow to simmer for about 10 mins. - Add more water if needed so that there is some gravy and the beef does not dry out.
3. Making the Pie: - Transfer the meat filling to a baking dish and level it out so that the filling covers the entire base of the dish. Sprinkle some cheddar cheese over. - Next, add the mash on top of the meat filling and spread it out with the back of a spoon (do not press the mash down into the filling otherwise too much gravy will seep into the mash). - Use a fork to rough up the surface of the mash. - Baste the mash with a little butter and sprinkle the bread crumbs on top. - Bake in oven on max heat for about 15 mins or until the potato crust turns golden brown and slightly crispy.

Spread mashed potatoes over top and using the back of a spoon, make decorative swirls over the top.
