We are such huge fans of Shepherd's Pie in our house! We love, love, love a recipe that we found a couple of years ago over at Simply Recipes and have tweaked it a little bit to make it our own, which it totally cheesy!
I'm really being serious when I say that we went through a time in our house that we had shepherds pie every couple of weeks. I think the combination of a good ground beef (we use grass fed organic), the flavorings, potatoes & cheese made it so delicious that we couldn't get enough. We had it so bad that we even had to start making Chicken Shepherds Pie which you should really try! It's a huge hit with kids and it's a great alternative for people who don't like beef.
If you live in Utah and need a good place to get Organic Ground Beef then you should try a little place called Real Foods. They have a store in Sugarhouse, Orem & St. George, UT! Their ground beef is a little expensive but it's totally worth every penny! I don't even like ground beef that much but will totally eat theirs any day of the week! I really believe that a good beef makes all the difference when cooking and I'd love for you to share in the comments section below where you like to shop for yours!
Cheesy Shepherds Pie
Ingredients
- 1 package of ground beef we use a 1 pound package of Organic Grass Fed Beef
- 1 large yellow onion chopped
- 2 cups frozen veggies cooked & drained (we usually use peas & carrots - but you can use a mixed veggie too)
- ½ cup beef broth
- 1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
- ½ tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 ½ cups colby monterey jack cheese shredded
- salt & pepper to taste
- 2 packages of instant potatoes butter flavored + butter, milk & water needed to prepare these
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup + ½ can of milk
Instructions
- Prepare your instant potatoes per package mix directions.
- Mix the cream of mushroom soup + ½ can of milk and whisk together and heat over medium low heat.
- In a large skillet cook your ground hamburger. Drain grease. Add your chopped onions and cook both together until hamburger is browned and onions are translucent and soft. Add your minced garlic & worcestershire sauce and stir together. Add your beef broth and cook until moisture has been absorbed. Add your cooked & drained veggies to the meat mixture and stir together.
- Pre-heat your oven to 400°. Pour your meat & veggie mixture into a 9x13 casserole dish. Pour your cream of mushroom soup mixture over the top of the meat mixture and spread out evenly. Sprinkle about ½ cup of shredded cheese over the top of the soup mixture.
- Spoon your potatoes over the top and spread out evenly. Salt & Pepper to taste. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on the top of your potatoes.
- Cook in the oven for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese is lightly browned & the casserole dish is bubbling around the edges and in the middle.
- Serve with a side of bread and enjoy!

Thanks Deborah for following us. Stopped by your blog and followed you on Bloglovin & Facebook while I was there 🙂
This looks amazing! Thanks for the recipe 🙂
Just a note, I'm not sure if you linked it there or not...I got your recipe through feastie.com in the gluten free section, and a Worcestershire Sauce and mushroom soup have gluten in them. It was totally easy for me to adapt though 🙂
Thanks again!
Hi Naomi,
Thanks for letting me know that this is showing on Feastie.com. I didn't link it up there so I'm not sure how it got on their site. Sorry it's in the wrong section 🙁 I have nothing to do with them so I have no control where they put it. Hope you love it as much as we did.

I LOVE shepherds pie, and I always forget to make it. Love all that cheese on yours...I'm gonna dive right in! Pinned!
yum! that looks so good. Im a hug fan of shepherds pie!!! one of our favorites is to add ranch powder to the potatoes for ranch shepherds pie!
Took some digging but finally found a recipe for Shepherd's Pie worth trying. The only adjustments we made were the cheese and to make homemade mashed potatoes. Once I became an adult, I swore off instant potatoes and haven't used them since. That aside, this is indeed the best version of this recipe I have found!!
Hi Amy,
Thank you so much for letting us know that you love this recipe! I'm so glad you found one that works for you and that you love it!
