>>Hilah: Hey dudes!
What’s up?
I am Hilah, and you’re watching Hilah Cooking.
Today I want to show you how to make a shepherd’s pie which is like a casserole with lamb and
vegetables and cheesy potato crust, and it’s really yummy, and I am really excited to show
you because you are gonna just love it!
All right, I have got a hot skillet here, and I’ve got some bacon.
I am just gonna fry it up a little bit, and get some of that bacon fat.
All right that’s start to get fatty, and I am gonna add a whole pile of onions and
some garlic.
So this recipe is really great because you can use any vegetables you want.
I just actually make it when I was a vegetarian I used to make it a vegetarian-style one and
just use a whole bunch of vegetables, maybe some beans, maybe some kind of like TVP or
something like that.
You could put cabbage in it if you want to make it like real Irish kind of deal happening
there, whatever, or oooh, you know what, super-short cut way I used to do sometimes too is just
get like a bag of frozen mixed vegetables and add that with some onions, and then basically
you’re done as long as you have left over mashed potatoes.
That’s kind of the kicker.
You need those.
We’re just gonna let these get nice and soft, maybe five minutes or so on a pretty
high heat because I am impatient like that.
All right, this is looking good and smelling like an old, grandma’s kitchen, so I am
gonna get my meat in there, and I am using lamb.
Like I said, you can use beef if you want to.
You can even use turkey, whatever, and I guess that’s why it’s called shepherd’s pie
because it’s traditionally made with lamb because the shepherds would go out there with
their flock.
Is that what they call it?
And if there was like one bad sheep, bam!
That sheep was dead, and that shepherd was making a pie out of them, so that’s how
they got all their sheep to fall in line.
That’s probably not a true story.
So just move around and break it up, and we’re just going to keep moving it and shaking it
until it’s all brown everywhere, smelling good!
Daisy is getting excited.
All right, so this is all cooked through.
It’s time to add our spices like salt, and pepper.
Sorry, I don’t want to talk like that, and I’ve got some rosemary and a little squirt
of tomato paste.
It’s going to make it have a nice, beautiful color.
Oh, my gosh, it smells so good.
Okay, and then I’ve just got a little bit of whole wheat flour.
It is just is kind of going to make our little saucy gravy stuff.
If you wanted to make it gluten-free you could use corn starch, and just mix it in with your
stock, and I am using a beef stock.
You could use a dark beer would be nice or chicken stock or water, whatever, just some
kind of liquid, probably not milk, just stay in.
All right, now that’s in I am gonna add my carrots and celery and just kind of let
this simmer for 10 minutes or so, let these vegetables get soft.
Oh, my gosh, dudes!
This is going to be awesome.
Okay, I’ll see you back here in a few.
Oh, look at that boy!
Okay, turn that off, and add my little frozen peas and little cute little pops of green.
Oh, my gosh you guys!
This is going to be so good, and then I have here.
I have some mashed potatoes that I made earlier, and just plain on mashed potatoes.
If you needed, if you want a video tutorial on that just I have a video on that too, so
go check it out, but this is also just totally great to make a leftover mashed potatoes.
All right, once that’s all there, now we’re gonna sprinkle on a chee-ese, and I am using
a sharp cheddar, but you may use what you like.
A Swiss perhaps would be nice, and since everything is cooked except the carrots might need a
little bit more and you know, whatever .We are going to put it in the oven now to let
the cheese get melty and kind of have everything meld.
So, yeah, I am just gonna put it in the oven for 10 minutes or so, whatever.
All right, we are out of the oven.
Oh my God dudes.
Mmmmmmm, dudes!
This is gonna make your faces fall off it’s so awesome.
Dude!
Yay!
Awesome!
Yay!
I just made shepherd’s pie and it’s raining outside, so it’s perfect.
It’s going to be a delicious dinner.
