Three-Colored “Shepherd’s Pie”



Fond memories abound when remembering Shepherd’s Pie from my childhood.  Who doesn’t love ground beef and mashed potatoes?  When I saw this version I was so excited to give it a try.  My mouth began to water and the anticipation was mounting, I could hardly wait to dig in.
Needless to say I was very disappointed.  The recipe won’t be included as there is something terribly wrong with it.  Yes, I know, you say “well, maybe YOU did something wrong Candace”.  I thought of that, but after carefully reviewing the recipe discovered that some of the measurements were not right, which lead to consistency issues and ultimately this recipe flopped.  With some adjustments I have no doubt that it would be better.  Although I hesitated to even taste it, I did and discovered the flavor was good, but as you can see from the picture it did NOT look appetizing at all.

The amount of stock used in this recipe was ridiculous and the purees were a bit too thin.  As you can see they sunk into the overabundance of gravy.  I won’t sit here and speculate, because I am just a home cook and no professional.  I’m just saying it didn’t work for me.  But hey…. I think I will dig out that old tried and true recipe I’ve got around here somewhere.  Sorry Rachel Khoo.
