I made a lot of changes, like using fresh thyme since I had it on hand, about 2 tsp worth. I used a whole package of ground pork (0.64 kg), and saut\u00e9ed the onion and garlic first before putting in the pork. I also used a small amount of nutmeg in the pork, and omitted the rice. With the chicken stock, I added a small amount of Weipa (a pork fat cooking supplement - highly recommend for things like fried rice). I took out the pork using a slotted spoon, and used the remaining liquid in the pan to cook the carrots and onions. I didn\u2019t have enough carrot, so I also used soybeans. For the mashed potatoes, I added garlic powder, paprika, and salt and pepper.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2023-11-04","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"Marti585"},"reviewBody":"
This is a flavorful recipe that my family loved. Even my picky eater went back for seconds. I think many of us are more budget-conscious these days due to the price of groceries. Here in Arizona, ground beef is currently $7.99\/lb., whereas ground pork is $5.99\/lb. That's another reason I like this recipe: it is relatively inexpensive to make, yet filling and tasty.<\/p>","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2024-04-01","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"Betty734"},"reviewBody":"

I enjoyed the component parts coming together to form a cohesive and flavorful whole. I think that the meat was a little lacking and would maybe use 2lbs or 1.5lbs next time. The meat would probably be better in a larger quantity to offset the fact that there are two starch components, rice and potatoes, instead of just one.Also, and this could be an effect of the last of the container of thyme that I was using (age), this recipe was slightly lacking in flavor. The flavors were very nice, just not quite as bold as what I prefer. I might toss in some sage as well as additional thyme the next thyme that I make this ;0]This try of the recipe could also be affected by my use of chicken stock instead of pork gravy. Although this ingredient was suggested as an alternate to the gravy, I can't help but think that the gravy would have been better.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":4,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}}]},"video":{"title":"Pork Shepherd\u2019s Pie","description":"Check out this video for how to make Pork Shepherd\u2019s Pie.","url":"https:\/\/videodam.tmbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/PorkShepherdsPie_DIYD_7105_060523_H.mp4","duration":"113","mime_type":"video\/mp4","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/videodam.tmbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/exps7105_CAS143580B09_16_2b-10.jpg","advertising":true,"jw_id":"TVdcMeQG","jw_url":"http:\/\/content.jwplatform.com\/videos\/TVdcMeQG-3rTW9UQq.mp4","jw_thmub_url":"http:\/\/content.jwplatform.com\/v2\/media\/TVdcMeQG\/poster.jpg?width=720","jw_publish_date":"08\/23\/2023"},"rms_legacy_id":"7105","romance_copy_dek":"Of all the shepherd's pie recipes I've tried through the years, this version is my favorite.

My husband mentioned he would like this better if it had ground beef instead of the ground pork. I never knew that Shepard's pie was made with any other meat that ground beef, because that's the way my grandmother made it. I always make the items by the ingredients listed, unless I don't really care for them. I made this with the ground pork that was listed, and I found it to be very good. But since my husband wants ground beef, I'll do a 50\/50 mixture next time I make this recipe....the whole family enjoyed this meal!","CommentId":5,"DateRated":"10\/14\/2018 21:45","GUID":"1ecc33b7c3f743278b7a5503b976124d","MemberId":9514811,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"wendy","SubmittedDate":"10\/14\/2018 21:45"},{"Comment":"
If Ian did not make the recipe, he should not submit a \"review\". If he wants to submit his own recipes he can do so, BUT NOT AT THIS SITE!! This is extremely rude, unhelpful and ignorant! Most of us realize that lamb was the original meat used in a Shepard's Pie, but now a days Shepard's pie can be made with any ground meat.<\/p>
I have not made this recipe (Pork Shepherd's Pie) yet, But do plan on making it soon. Sounds delicious.<\/p>

This should not be called a Shepherds Pie ... a Shepherds Pie is made with Lamb ... hence the name SHEPHERD !!! This is a traditional recipe :-<\/p>
INGREDIENTS<\/p>
1 tablespoon olive oil<\/p>
1 brown onion, halved, finely chopped<\/p>
1 carrot, peeled, finely chopped<\/p>
2 celery sticks, trimmed, finely chopped<\/p>
1 tablespoon tomato paste<\/p>
500g lamb mince<\/p>
Salt & freshly ground black pepper<\/p>
2 tablespoons plain flour<\/p>
500ml (2 cups) Massel beef style stock<\/p>
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce<\/p>
1 bay leaf<\/p>
4 (about 200g each) desiree potatoes, peeled, chopped<\/p>
40g butter<\/p>
125ml (1\/2 cup) milk<\/p>
Melted butter, to brush<\/p>
METHOD<\/p>
Step 1<\/p>
Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion, carrot and celery and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until soft. Add lamb mince and cook, stirring to break up any lumps, for 5 minutes or until lamb changes colour.<\/p>
Step 2<\/p>
Add the flour and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or until combined. Add stock, bay leaf, Worcestershire sauce and tomato paste. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes or until sauce thickens. Taste and season with salt and pepper.<\/p>
Step 3<\/p>
Meanwhile: cook potato in a saucepan of salted boiling water for 15 minutes or until tender. Drain well. Return to the pan with the butter. Use a potato masher or fork to mash until smooth. Add milk and use a wooden spoon to stir until combined. Taste and season with salt and pepper.<\/p>
Step 4<\/p>
Preheat oven to 200C. Spoon lamb mixture into a 2L (8-cup) capacity ovenproof baking dish, or use four individual ovenproof serving dishes. Top with mashed potato and use a fork to spread over lamb mixture. Brush with butter. Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes or until mashed potato is golden brown. Serve immediately<\/p>","CommentId":7,"DateRated":"","GUID":"266ea9e12cf34973884152e303928d2b","MemberId":8874376,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"Ian","SubmittedDate":"03\/13\/2018 00:15"},{"Comment":"
Very good recipe. I enjoyed the component parts coming together to form a cohesive and flavorful whole. I think that the meat was a little lacking and would maybe use 2lbs or 1.5lbs next time. The meat would probably be better in a larger quantity to offset the fact that there are two starch components, rice and potatoes, instead of just one.<\/p>
Also, and this could be an effect of the last of the container of thyme that I was using (age), this recipe was slightly lacking in flavor. The flavors were very nice, just not quite as bold as what I prefer. I might toss in some sage as well as additional thyme the next thyme that I make this ;0]<\/p>
This try of the recipe could also be affected by my use of chicken stock instead of pork gravy. Although this ingredient was suggested as an alternate to the gravy, I can't help but think that the gravy would have been better.<\/p>","CommentId":8,"DateRated":"06\/26\/2016 05:15","GUID":"363c8a95010b43899d15522f238910f8","MemberId":8882696,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"PMC24","SubmittedDate":"06\/26\/2016 05:13"},{"Comment":"

Everyone, kids and adults, loved this comfort food. It took a while to prepare for the first time, but I will know what to expect next time around. The pork could easily be replaced with another ground meat, or left out all together to make a delicious all vegetable meal.<\/p>","CommentId":11,"DateRated":"12\/22\/2012 13:00","GUID":"31e204522aaa46d8b093aa2e4211cf85","MemberId":6541766,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"jenpen9339","SubmittedDate":"12\/22\/2012 12:59"}]},"breadcrumb":[{"term_id":310796,"name":"Dishes & Beverages","slug":"dishes-beverages","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":310731,"taxonomy":"categories-v2","description":"Wondering what to make?
