My fiancée and I just discovered your channel over Thanksgiving when we were separated and he unfortunately got the flu. Since then we’ve been binge watching like there’s no tomorrow. We tried this recipe and we were floored. I had never made anything with lamb before. We made a few alterations because my partner has Celiac’s and we both are lactose intolerant. Even so, this was texture and flavor wise one of my new favorite dishes we’ve ever made. Over Christmas break we made this shepard’s pie and my dad was so impressed. We can’t get enough of your channel. So refreshing and always delicious. (We also used my dad’s instapot to make your beef bourguignon. He sent me pics each time he ate on the leftovers) Big thank you. Your meals have reinvigorated our weekday eats. Also, I just can’t imagine a better way to make a living. Can’t wait to keep watching.
LOVE the spinach idea! I like to put sliced provolone or havarti on the meat before spreading the potatoes though. This adds flavor and stops the gravy from soaking into the potatoes too much
Anything that has bacon and cheese is the perfect dish. Oh I love the spinach instead of the normal peas. Hey have you heard of washing your ground meat? I was shocked when I saw another cooking person say you HAVE to wash ALL your meat. I’ve never washed my meat and I’m still kicking lol.
I was all in until you didn't add a layer of multi types of shredded cheese on top. Layer of meat, layer of veggies, layer of potatoes, and a layer of cheese. It's one of the best poor man dishes ever.
Hi Sam, my Hubby and I just discovered you this week. I made your Shepherds Pie today for ourselves and 2 Seniors in our condo who, like us, cannot be with family for Easter. I had to tell you that I will no longer make Shepherds Pie any other way but your way for the rest of my life! The flavors were amazing!

Cooking: Bake in a 400 F oven 30 to 40 minutes it is golden brown on top. Sam did 30 minutes in the oven with 5 minutes under the broiler.
Finally someone in North America recognizes shepherd’s pie is made with lamb, here in Canada they sell shepherd’s pie made with beef, the clue is in the name shepherds have sheep and ranchers have cattle and it’s a cottage pie with beef. Really bothers me far more than it should!
Hey Sam, how about some meal prep for say a whole week? I love to cook but have trouble making things that I can cook and are still amazing after being microwaved at work, love the show!!
Mike C Bolognese, Mac n Cheese Pasta bake, steak stir fry, literally anything you want to cook that can be transferred between two slices of ciabatta, make dishes that use rice as a side and you can use absolutely any leftovers you have to make fried rice, all good eats
Hey, I'm eating this right now and I followed the recipe almost exactly (I didn't have any rosemary AND I used venison from a deer I harvested recently. I'm calling mine, "Hunter's Pie"). It is fantastic! Good call on the bacon, good call on the spinach. I've been following your recipes for a few months now after watching your tuna melt sandwich video and the simplicity and personability you bring make cooking fun for me. Thanks much Sam and Team.
I know it's an old comment I'm responding to, but this is a perfect use for ground or cubed deer meat. There actually is a hunter's pie but it uses a pie crust, well that's the version I'm used to anyway.
@@lostsol7613 Love your attitude. Glad that there are some SANE PEOPLE in this Comment section. I just love what Sam is trying to do for all of us, help us lead better lives.
@@eillswim clearly you havent heard or seen both versions Sam mentions. Besides the little modifications here and there, this is basically the Shepherd's version in a nutshell. I bet you dont even realize pizzas are called pies.....
the man knows how to cook. but my personal opinion on things like this is try it traditionally then adapt it afterwards. so you know what it tastes like and what you would prefer more etc. hes obviously had traditional before though
I made this for my family this past weekend. Turned out awesome. I’m not a “Cottage Pie” person, but Shepherd’s Pie? More please! Even my picky oldest daughter loved it!
My husband loves it when I make Shepard’s pie. I love adding spinach in where I can. Great source of iron. Looks great but I’d still have to add the peas for hubby. Not a problem. That’s cooking. Thanks for another great video. Looking forward to getting your knife. Knife work is one of the most enjoyable parts of cooking for me.
He didn't chop on a board, chopped on a steel cooking surface. Always use the back of the knife to drag your ingredients. It's okay to use the blade to scoop up your ingredients. But OMG if you use those techniques of Sam you'll have to sharpen you knives allot more often.
Cooked Spinach Benefits: When you eat spinach that has been heated, you will absorb higher levels of vitamins A and E, protein, fiber, zinc, thiamin, calcium, and iron. Thanks for this-making it during the quarantine.
Also cooked spinach benefits: it still tastes delicious, just like raw spinach. Ok I'm bias af, I love spinach. Edit: I make a mostly veggie lasagna with 1 eggplant, 3 yellow squash, 4 zucchini (going for equal portions based on size of eggplant), and 2 lbs frozen spinach, per 3 lbs ground beef/turkey. There's the tomato and cheese and all that, but I couldn't not put spinach in it. It's vital.
Shepherd's pie is one of the things I deployed in pursuing my now wife. Braised lamb shoulder and (very) wide homemade pasta helped seal the deal. Lamb all the way!
Sam, this looks amazing, however, just for a reaction, I thought I'd show it to my mum because she's a Yorkshire lass. Well, it got a reaction all right!!!! After she regained consciousness from hitting her head on the coffee table as she fell off of the sofa, she made me make a pot of Yorkshire tea to calm her down. The tremors eventually subsided, but she said she had a restless night with little sleep. I must confess that the recipe looked good to me, but is somewhat avant garde for the more traditional amongst us.
Sam, the number 1 thing I've learned since the beginning of the internet is simply this...the world is full of trolls. We watch your videos because you DO think outside the box. Keep it up and don't change a thing. That Shepherd's pie looks delicious. 👍
@@samthecookingguy I grew up in the UK eating my mum's shepherd and cottage pies. I went on to make my own for my own family, using all but one of the ingredients you show at different times and in different ways. (I don't think i've ever made either in the same way twice in a row) I have never thoght of including spinach before, but next time I make either of those pies I'm doing what you did! Is it a shepherds pie? Hell yes. Plus I appreciate that you called out the difference between shep and cottage, but people from the UK don't always call them the correct name on a regualr basis, so I don't see why people get all twisted up about it. Tasty food is tasty food, even if you got the name wrong. Chill out and enjoy your eats people! Thank you Sam, you've given me a new recipe idea.
@Mark7music I'm aware of what it is and what it has and hasn't done. That's why I asked specifically about it being a scare tactic. That's what it has been used as, a scare tactic
@Mark7music it ain't no problem man. I'm just a patient person, mostly that is. I have my impatient moments. But would believe that people understand that but it's the still fear of getting it. Plus these hospitals are misdiagnosing people on purpose just to get the 💰 🤑 💸 💲 💶 💵
Sam ..... ignore the haters. They’re just miserable bored people. You and your kids do a banging job every week!! It’s impossible to please 100% of the people 100% of the time. I love your channel ❤️
not sure what you made but its not Shepherds pie.. maybe a Californian Gentrified yuppie version of it but Shepherds pie it is not.. Spinach? Parmesan? Roasted garlic..? and the mash with paprika? No.. Sorry.. no way in hell we had those ingredients as a kid.. Ps, I was born on the borders of Lancashire / Yorkshire in the UK.. you have made something nice, but Shepherds pie it is not.
Actually, I find the addition of the spinach quite intriguing and most likely brilliant (Some people put peas in there: So how is another green vegetable so out of left field in the end?); I look forward to trying it it Shepered/Cottage pie and "Paté Chinois"! 👍👍
Irish guy here, this is an awesome recipe and I've got no problem with the spinach addition! Doesn't impact the deep delicious flavors in the slightest yet adds much needed nutrients. You're awesome brother! Keep it up.
There's so many douchebags in the world it's obvious the guy that called you a dick could find an argument in a bouquet of roses! I have found that tracking people down and kidnapping them and then chaining them up in the shipping container underneath my house until I feel they are truly sorry is a waste of time so just go on with your life bro that guy is so miserable that he's unhappy with everything and isn't that the best revenge :-)
Wow! Made this for St.Paddy’s a few days ago! Amazing! Really loved the roasted garlic touch! Omg! And of course the BACON! I made a mistake! I didn’t put enough BACON! I think the only other thing I want in there is peas! Will be making this again soon and will do spinach and peas! Thanks so much!
Ok Sam, I get the spinach. It puts a certain delicate twist to the whole thing. As a Brit we too love bacon like the yanks, but not on a Shepards pie. I will try it but it seems just so ? The tats on top are a wee bit to smooth and runny for my taste. Think that they have to be a little more stiff so you can actually cut a piece out as a pie slice. But i love the fact that overseas people are putting twists and ideas on British food. But i will say that i prefer yours better than the one done by Ramsay. But the best one is and will stay the one from my Gran. I would like to see you do a traditional bubble and squeak. 8 out 10 . Best regards Jme
My mum made Sheppard/cottage pie with lots of leftovers, I would eat the nasty green stuff, but no cheese. Cheese does not go on a hot meat and gravy dish.
sam we add brussel sprouts and green beans and asparagus to our pie. if were gonna go hard with lamb were doin expensive fav veggies too. love it mayne! EDIT also miss us on the tomato paste and double the cheese
I do mine pretty different. I used pearl onions, crimini mushrooms and larger chunks of carrot and celery. then I mix a healthy amount of gruyere cheese in with the potatoes. and in my other comment I mentioned that cabbage would probably be a good addition as well and I want to try that sometime. The cheese makes a huge difference though when you put in your spatula to take out a chunk and it looks like a deep dish pizza almost you know it's going to be epic.
A couple of suggestions from the UK. Add a couple of Bay Leaves. Use less cream to make the mash a bit stiffer, then rake it out with a fork to make lots of ridges, you will end up with lot more crispy bits of potatoe topping deliciousness.
Do you have the recipe with the amount for each ingredient? I want to make it this weekend! I made your short ribs and we are in love! Even my daughter liked it and she is a picky eater! We love you Sam! You’re the best!
I made this for my husband and it was amazing! The only change we made was adding cheddar cheese on top of it all. Thanks Sam for this delicious addition to our recipe box.
I believe that is not a pizza stone and that it is some kind of a cutting block. Look closely at it, you can see marks in it from the knife. If it was a stone, you would not see cut marks in it. However, I could be wrong. I'm thinking that as much of a deal he makes about knives, he'd know better than to cut on a surface that would dull his knife.
@@buzzycrawford9020 I think you're right. I noticed the marks this morning in a different video. Maybe it's some kind of super hardwood? It certainly has a stone sound whilst cutting though. I'd be curious if anyone knows the answer.
@@Casshern2010 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️I know that, that was the purpose of my post. People make it with beef and claim it is Shepherd's pie, when what they are really making is cottage pie.

This was amazing, thanks for posting Sam!
Am i the only one who gets excited/laughs when i hear Luis?😁
LOVE the spinach idea! I like to put sliced provolone or havarti on the meat before spreading the potatoes though. This adds flavor and stops the gravy from soaking into the potatoes too much
Outstanding! I think I’ll try this with feta or goat cheese crumbles for Serbian Shepherds Pie!
My wife's version, she made a checker board pattern of sliced squares of Cheddar and Monterey Jack, then toast it.
Btw.. Your knife is a perfectly balanced razor blade!! Love it!!
I love spinach but if I was going to add an off-the-wall vegetable to my shepherd or cottage pie I think sauteed cabbage would be pretty badass.
Time to troll the assistant:
Hey Sam, you could have hired Max a real assistant instead of taking a "Chance".

Thank you for using lamb
Good grief I'm going to have to try this!
Brits watching him dump an ungodly fuckload of spinach into the mix:
"Ah fuck, I can't believe you've done this"
Could only possibly be improved by using scalloped toys on top. The use of spinach is great.
I don’t eat lamb, but give me a plate! 😮
what size is that cast iron pan?
HEY SAM, 1:05 I know a high quality antique cast iron skillet when I see one. Can you tell me what it is?
Okay, I have never seen a skillet with a handle like that. Is it new? IS someone making new skillets thin like the old ones?

@Mark7music I'm aware of what it is and what it has and hasn't done. That's why I asked specifically about it being a scare tactic. That's what it has been used as, a scare tactic
@Mark7music it ain't no problem man. I'm just a patient person, mostly that is. I have my impatient moments. But would believe that people understand that but it's the still fear of getting it. Plus these hospitals are misdiagnosing people on purpose just to get the 💰 🤑 💸 💲 💶 💵
@@601Simple_Man Yes they are, and then some.
Sam ..... ignore the haters. They’re just miserable bored people. You and your kids do a banging job every week!! It’s impossible to please 100% of the people 100% of the time. I love your channel ❤️
not sure what you made but its not Shepherds pie.. maybe a Californian Gentrified yuppie version of it but Shepherds pie it is not.. Spinach? Parmesan? Roasted garlic..? and the mash with paprika? No.. Sorry.. no way in hell we had those ingredients as a kid.. Ps, I was born on the borders of Lancashire / Yorkshire in the UK.. you have made something nice, but Shepherds pie it is not.
I’m pretty sure there’s better ways to fine dice onions than that
Yup you can always try by not starting with a dull knife
Actually, I find the addition of the spinach quite intriguing and most likely brilliant (Some people put peas in there: So how is another green vegetable so out of left field in the end?); I look forward to trying it it Shepered/Cottage pie and "Paté Chinois"! 👍👍
Maybe because peas are delicious and not even Popeye likes spinach?
"Not underly wibbly". Perfection sir.
Irish guy here, this is an awesome recipe and I've got no problem with the spinach addition! Doesn't impact the deep delicious flavors in the slightest yet adds much needed nutrients. You're awesome brother! Keep it up.
Those little stems on the leaves drive me crazy in soups. I'd probably add riced broccoli or peas
There's so many douchebags in the world it's obvious the guy that called you a dick could find an argument in a bouquet of roses! I have found that tracking people down and kidnapping them and then chaining them up in the shipping container underneath my house until I feel they are truly sorry is a waste of time so just go on with your life bro that guy is so miserable that he's unhappy with everything and isn't that the best revenge :-)
Wow! Made this for St.Paddy’s a few days ago! Amazing! Really loved the roasted garlic touch! Omg! And of course the BACON! I made a mistake! I didn’t put enough BACON! I think the only other thing I want in there is peas! Will be making this again soon and will do spinach and peas! Thanks so much!
I mean, I love your enthusiasm but maybe not end every sentence with an exclamation point XD Sorry i just a little triggered there, carry on!
As an Englishman I love watching you have your take on our dishes. Glad people can see that our food isn't as bad as the stereotype 👍
Jilly is a saint. The only 5* episodes ever produced feature her, Astro and caramelized onions.
Ok Sam,
I get the spinach. It puts a certain delicate twist to the whole thing.
As a Brit we too love bacon like the yanks, but not on a Shepards pie. I will try it but it seems just so ?
The tats on top are a wee bit to smooth and runny for my taste. Think that they have to be a little more stiff so you can actually cut a piece out as a pie slice.
But i love the fact that overseas people are putting twists and ideas on British food. But i will say that i prefer yours better than the one done by Ramsay. But the best one is and will stay the one from my Gran.
I would like to see you do a traditional bubble and squeak.
8 out 10 . Best regards

My mum made Sheppard/cottage pie with lots of leftovers, I would eat the nasty green stuff, but no cheese.
Cheese does not go on a hot meat and gravy dish.
"Wooster sauce" a "glunnk" of salt. I know someone who has been watching Gordon Ramsey's videos
da man WHERE IS THE LAMB SAUCE!!!
Scott Davis cringe
A knob of butta
Love your channel, your vibe, and your ideas Sam ! I'll be making this soon.
I believe spinach has Vitamin K, Potassium, and Iron
sam we add brussel sprouts and green beans and asparagus to our pie. if were gonna go hard with lamb were doin expensive fav veggies too. love it mayne! EDIT also miss us on the tomato paste and double the cheese
Technically, Sheppards pie would be made with mutton, Lambs are the future of the Sheppard business.
Let’s see Sam’s watch collection! And whatever else he collects (cutlery, pans, tools for work, etc). Do a CRIBS edition
I do mine pretty different. I used pearl onions, crimini mushrooms and larger chunks of carrot and celery. then I mix a healthy amount of gruyere cheese in with the potatoes. and in my other comment I mentioned that cabbage would probably be a good addition as well and I want to try that sometime. The cheese makes a huge difference though when you put in your spatula to take out a chunk and it looks like a deep dish pizza almost you know it's going to be epic.
I just pre-ordered the Sam The Cooking Guy knife! Hopefully it'll turn my college dorm cooking game to the MAX!
Where'd you find the link? I don't see it in the description
Jonathan I saw it pinned in the comments
@@TheFiredude333 Got it! Thanks!
College dorm huh? If you can cook, a different game will be turned to the MAX(XX).
Thomas Dardis just don’t loan it to anyone called Ted B
A couple of suggestions from the UK. Add a couple of Bay Leaves. Use less cream to make the mash a bit stiffer, then rake it out with a fork to make lots of ridges, you will end up with lot more crispy bits of potatoe topping deliciousness.
Max: most important knife you'll ever buy.
Butter knife: am I a joke to you.
Spork: Hey don't forget about me!
and we mix, or, and we stir,
that is the question
In Brazil we have a very similar dish called “escondidinho” (“little hidden” literally traduced)
"Half a cup of red wine"
Okay, so half the bottle yeah?
"Link to preorder in the description"
*puts link in a comment*
That knife does look boss, I must admit!
I love mashed potatoes and I LOVE meat. How have I not had this before?
Do you have the recipe with the amount for each ingredient? I want to make it this weekend! I made your short ribs and we are in love! Even my daughter liked it and she is a picky eater! We love you Sam! You’re the best!
OMG, of course, ground lamb and, therefore the name “Shepard’s Pie”!!
The wife and I made this, it was excellent thank you 👍🥃
Shepherds Pie is one of my favorite foods, and this looks amazing!!
If it's pie and it's meat, it's for me.
I am half Scotsman and I have to confess our culinary heritage is not at all apealing to me it all gives me the heaves yuk
I made this for my husband and it was amazing! The only change we made was adding cheddar cheese on top of it all. Thanks Sam for this delicious addition to our recipe box.
Half of the views on this video are from me looking every time I want to make it
I've never been one to want to eat Shepherd's pie, but after this recipe... I might just have to make it and try it 😎
Liz Dykstra not want shepherds pie? This does not compute to an Ulsterman.
That pizza stone thing is killing your knife blade.
It made me wince every time I heard the blade hit the stone
Gordon Ramsay does the same thing...owww!
I believe that is not a pizza stone and that it is some kind of a cutting block. Look closely at it, you can see marks in it from the knife. If it was a stone, you would not see cut marks in it. However, I could be wrong. I'm thinking that as much of a deal he makes about knives, he'd know better than to cut on a surface that would dull his knife.
@@buzzycrawford9020 I think you're right. I noticed the marks this morning in a different video. Maybe it's some kind of super hardwood? It certainly has a stone sound whilst cutting though. I'd be curious if anyone knows the answer.
Jonathan Weed @buzzy Crawford Yes. It’s a butcher block. Not stone.
Finally, someone who says they are making shepherds pie and properly uses lamb and not beef.
Daniel Gramento that would be cottage pie then.
@@Casshern2010 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️I know that, that was the purpose of my post. People make it with beef and claim it is Shepherd's pie, when what they are really making is cottage pie.
I like to mix 80% lamb 20% pork sausage all local. its amazing. like the kick of sausage.
we need a "Chance Nation" t-shirt
😍
@Ronnie Mozingo so dreamy ☁️🥰
Poor Sam and his little bundle😂🤣
Effing Chance.... (there, does he feel included yet?)
You didn’t insult him, but don’t worry, I did it for all of us.
