Shepherd's Pie - great comfort food

Although it's next to nothing, my knowledge to British cuisine I do know one hearty, protein filled and satisfy all time beloved by British - Shepherd's Pie. Inspired by my new cookbook - Jamie's Great Britain by Jamie Oliver, I probably will be cooking and writing about British dishes in the next couple of posts.

Shepherd's Pie traditionally made with lamb. The American version made with beef is sometime called Cottage Pie. In Jamie's book he introduced recipe with veal. Naming and type of meat aside, Shepherd's pie is essentially a casserole that lined with cooked meat and vegetable ( the idea was to create a new dish from leftovers), topped with mashed potatoes and then browned in the oven.
