American Shepherds Pie Recipe

TRADITIONAL AMERICAN RECIPE: The term Cottage Pie was in use by 1791, when the potato was being introduced as an edible crop affordable for the poor (cf. cottage meaning a modest dwelling for rural workers).

 

In early cookery books, the dish was a means of using leftover roasted meat of any kind, and the pie dish was lined with mashed potato as well as having a mashed potato crust on top.

 

The term Shepherd's Pie did not appear until 1877, and since then it has been used synonymously with Cottage Pie, regardless of whether the principal ingredient was beef or mutton. Folk etymology has led to the term Shepherd's Pie being used when the meat is lamb, as shepherds are concerned with sheep and not cattle.

 

This cottage pie is an American variation of traditional Shepherd's Pie that is sure to please any meat and potatoes fan.
