My Super Easy Shepherd’s Pie Recipe That’s Ugly AF But Delicious

I have been craving shepherd’s pie for the longest time but my oven was broken. Sooooo I bought a new oven. Thennnn I made shepherd’s pie. It was the ugliest pie in the world. But I swear it still tastes DELICIOUS.

Expectations

Reality

Bahahahahahaha I crai.

Ingredients

• 1 medium onion
• 2-3 cloves garlic
• Loads of butter
• Ground/minced beef
• 1 carrot, diced
• 1 cup sweet corn
• 1 cup peas (although I didn’t have any)
• Oyster sauce
• Light soy sauce
• Chicken stock or beef stock
• Potatoes (I used 3 and it wasn’t enough so you should use like 5)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Cheese if you wanna be fancy

Instructions

For easy mashed potatoes:

1. Chop potatoes and boil in salted water
2. Once softened, remove from water, add as much butter as you want, plus some salt and pepper
3. Mash
4. My recipes are the best

For the meat part:

1. Saute onions and diced carrots in lots of butter mmm
2. Once softened, add finely diced garlic
3. Add ground beef and stir
4. Add a blob of oyster sauce and some light soy sauce
5. Add some chicken or beef stock. Keep that meat juicyyyyy.
6. When beef is almost cooked through, add peas and sweet corn

Making the shepherd’s pie:

1. Dump the juicy meat in a pyrex or whatever
2. Plop the mashed potatoes on top
3. If you wanna be fancy, sprinkle cheese on top (I used parmesan mmm)
4. Bake in the oven at 200 degrees for like 30 minutes
5. DONE

MINE WENT SO WRONG!

My shepherd’s pie was so beautiful in this big pyrex dish. My mashed potatoes were all peaked and cute and nyam nyam. BUT THENNNN…

I tried to put it in the oven and IT DIDN’t FIT. I was too upset to take pics haha. My old oven was big. This new MCO oven is smol. So smol. It no fit my pyrex.

So I had to move everything into a smaller pyrex. And it ended up looking like thisssssssss:

SO UGLYYYYYYYYYY!!!!

In hindsight I should have scooped the mash out separately, then moved the meat, then put the mash back on top. But I was too upset with the stupid smol oven and myself that I just scooped everything out and plopped it into smol pyrex.

Sad life.

But I swear it’s delicious. Even Mr Ninja said it’s delicious. And he hates food like this haha. Maybe he was just being nice. But he’s a terrible liar. Zero poker face. So I think he liked it.
