Result

There you go, your shepherd's pie is ready to be tasted :-)

Easy to make, quick and super economical!

And it's a treat the whole family loves.

Bonus tip

Know that the best hash is made with… stew meat!

But you can also vary the pleasures by using other meats than beef, depending on the leftovers you have!

You can mix beef and pork.

Another possibility, you can also prepare a Shepherd's pie with duck. It's a treat!

Do you have any leftover chicken meat? Use it to make your hash. The result will be lighter than with beef, pork or duck.

Do you know that some people replace butter with olive oil?

So traditional shepherd's pie, old-fashioned or revisited... It all depends on everyone's tastes!

Cost of shepherd's pie

- 500 g of minced meat:€5.70

- 1 kg of mashed potatoes:€2

- 1 bunch of fresh parsley of 30 g:€1

Either a unique and tasty dish at €2.17 for 1 person or €8.70 for 4 people.
