A beef version would be called a Cottage Pie.

Herbed Cottage Pie

The herbs give an interesting variation in this old-fashioned favourite.

Answer 2

You can make the sauce simple with cans of cream of mushroom soup. Pour over meat on bottom layer, corn, then mashed potatoes, top with shredded cheddar and bake at 375 until bubblie!

Answer 3

Yes,pretty much the same as my Momma did.

Every family should have their own.

Start with meat and mashed potatoes.

Answer 4

Yes.  Shepherd's Pie is made with lamb/mutton (hence the name!).  If you make it with beef, it's called Cottage Pie.

It has a base of minced lamb.  You can add vegetables, etc, to your liking.  Top it with mashed potatoes however you like them, then bake it in the oven until it's golden.

Here's the Gordon Ramsay version:

Edit: to moisten the meat and give a gravy, you can add some stock and/or red wine.  If you like it thick, add a little plain flour to the meat when it's browned and then add the liquid gradually.
