Shepherd's Pie is a classic comfort dish originating from the United Kingdom. Traditionally made with minced lamb, it features a savory filling of meat cooked with onions, carrots, peas, and herbs, creating a flavorful base. This is topped with a creamy layer of mashed potatoes and baked until golden. Variations often substitute ground beef, referred to as "Cottage Pie." Shepherd's Pie provides a good source of protein from the meat and essential vitamins from the vegetables. The mashed potatoes contribute carbohydrates for energy, but they're also higher in starch. Healthier versions may use leaner meats, sweet potatoes, or add more vegetables to boost fiber and nutrients. However, some recipes can be high in fat or sodium, especially when butter, cream, and heavy seasoning are used. It's a hearty and nutritious choice when made with balanced ingredients.
