skinnymixer's Rustic Shepherd's Pie

Shepherd’s Pie is a true winter classic… A great way to create a budget friendly, veggie filled meal in the Thermomix that is both delicious and comforting.

I opted to use low carb potatoes in mine, but you could easily substitute them with sweet potato or alternatively this popular mashed cauliflower recipe. To make this a complete meal, you can steam vegetables from step 5 if you wish, and you can also opt to make it dairy free or top with grated cheese too! Enjoy.

Love Nik xx

  1. OMG this is absolutely delish and SO quick to make. It was a hit in our house and will definitely be a regular

  2. Made the mince mix to be hcg compliant(omitting oil and subbed cali stem for carrot). Turned out great and made 5 x 174g portions.
    The stock paste you use is a large part of the flavour profile. I had the healthy mix chicken stock ready to go and that is what I used.
    I found it to be rich and lovely. I will make some compliant cauliflower mash to top them.
    A nice change from salads and zoodles.

  3. Another fabulous recipe. Thank you. Made with beef mince, added peas and corn and topped with cauliflower mash. Absolutely delicious mad loved by all members of our family. x

  4. I made this yesterday and fell asleep while it was cooking in the oven. Luckily my oven turns itself off, but when I woke up hours later, it was very, very well done. Hubby said he would eat it anyway and he absolutely loved it. I am going to make it again and try not to fall asleep, so can see how much more he will like it then. I served it with cauliflower bake. When I make something new I always ask for a score out of 5 and he gave it 6.
    Have told him for future reference that if I fall asleep and have something in the oven, to take it out when time has finished (I have MS and can fall asleep very easily and often)
    Will come back and make another comment next time 🙂

  5. Delicious.
    We made with the beef mince, and with white potato mash (no cream) – a big hit with all 3 of us. We will certainly make it again! Thank you.

  6. Another easy, delicious meal. I didn’t have peas, so used corn and added a can of red kidney beans. I also sprinkled some cheese on top.

    1. I’ve been looking for a recipe to replace the packaged mince cottage pie meal base that my family loves. After seeing your comment, I added ground ginger, garam masala, tumeric and a can of chopped tomatoes when cooking the gravy mixture and everyone loved the flavour.

  7. Thanks for another great recipe Nik. Such an easy, quick recipe and another bonus was that I already had the ingredients at home. The whole family loved it. My sone went back for seconds. Will make this again but next time I’m going to use frozen peas and corn.

  8. Found the mince bland after following the recipe so added couple of tea spoons of gravox and re cooked in machine for 2 mins then into oven and was delicious!!

    1. I put in 15g of Worcestershire sauce rather than 5g (accident lol) and slightly more beef stock concentrate and it was delicious.

  9. We had this tonight. My Asd son had seconds and gave me a hug! ! Thank you Nik for sharing a great recipe. Will definately be making this again xx

  10. Yum! Used cauliflower mash instead of potatoes, but otherwise followed the recipe. So easy to make. Thanks so much

  11. Another delicious and simple recipe, thanks nikalene!
    Next time round I’m going to try add in some more veg and I’m sure this will be a staple in our house this winter

  12. Wow Nik! Thank you so much for this awesome recipe. I will never cook it another way. My entire family enjoyed this so much. Thanks for making me look so good in the kitchen! 😊

  13. I found the mince mix bland sorry and was scrambling to fix it at the end 🙁
    Will use your method for my usual seasonings next time. Good base recipe to tweak

  14. Delicious! This is going on our fortnightly rotation for sure. I did beef with chicken stock as that’s what I had..and did put cheese on the top – next time might add chilli too. Thankyou.

  15. I made this last night. It was delicious! Loved by all and only a tiny bit left! My fussy partner said ‘ you can add this to the list!’
    Thank you for another amazing recipe, your recipes never disappoint!

  16. Made this tonight
    I went with Michael’s recommendation…… And had the onion and bacon in the mash…… Please let him know that yes it was out of this world good!
    Yum, everyone wolfed it down ☺️

  17. I have just cooked this to freeze for a friend who has had a baby. How long would you cook it straight from the freezer?

    I had a sneaky taste and it was delicious!!! I will have to make it for us tomorrow night. Luckily, it is so quick and easy to make.

  18. I made this for dinner tonight- I used beef mince, added in a few extra veggies for my one year old, and blended the potatoes a bit longer because we like a creamy mash and it was absolutely delicious. So simple. Perfect for a cold night in Melbourne. Another winner Nik!

  19. this is on my to make this week list. i have everything, except the peas, i never have peas, i feel about peas the way some people feel about coriander. anyway, this will be made this week.

    also, a small editing recommendation. step 7 would read better if the 1st instance of ‘through’ was removed.

    you are awesome Nik.
