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. I have never liked Shepherds Pie but my husband loves it so I have made it quite a few times & each time differently to see if I would enjoy it but never had any success, that is until this recipe! I love love this dish, my husband thinks it’s the best one he has eaten & even my fussy as 4 year old ate it without complaining. I used half cauliflower half potatoes for the mash just because I like to sneak extra veg in when I can. This will be a regular in our household & it freezes well.

  2. Lovely warming family meal. Miss doesn’t like anything 3.y.o. ate the filling (if I picked the peas out and dished hers with no mash) but that is still a win!!! Thank you!

  3. Made it tonight after a recommendation by a friend. I added one zucchini to step 1.
    Also put 10g of Worcestershire sauce and 170g of tomato paste as I decided to just finish the bottle off.
    This part tastes pretty good.

    Made a combination of potato, sweet potato and cauli mash… haven’t tried yet, Will tomorrow.

    Thanks for the recipe.

  4. Made this for tea! Was absolutely delicious! Even fussy miss 5year ate it and asked to have it tomorrow night for tea!
    THANK YOU

  5. I don’t think the recipe is very clear. Do you add the sauce mix with the mince when you put the mince aside and continue to cook the potatoes?

    1. Anne, No it clearly says in step 3 add stock, tomato paste and pepper to mixer bowl then insert simmer basket in step 4 and place mince inside.

  6. SOOOO GOOD!!
    I had some bacon and cauliflower that I needed to use, put the bacon in with the onions cos I hadn’t read ahead and didn’t know it would become the gravy, I’d do it again in a heartbeat tho!! OMG! That gravy was to die for!
    Subbed the potato with cauliflower and this dish was demolished by mr 2.5, and miss 1! (They even ate the peas which is unheard of!

    Was planning on freezing the leftovers for hubby, but don’t think there’ll b any now!

    Thanks Nik!

  7. Made this tonight for the first time. It was delicious. Even my fussy husband who thinks thermomix meals are ‘bland’ really enjoyed it. Mr 2 and Miss 5 were also fans. This will definitely be on the meal rotation from now on!

  8. Today was the first day we used our thermomix. We made a couple of school snacks and this for dinner. It tasted amazing. Next time I would add some chilli as we are chilli fans and maybe a few extra veggies, but overall it tasted great just the way it is.
    Next time I will make a double batch. Family of 5 plus one meal for lunch the next day but with the kids going back for seconds my lunch bowl got eaten haha. So good to have something all 3 kids enjoyed and a great experience for our first thermomix meal.

  9. So yummy to reduce carbs I did 2x zucchini instead of carrots and did a half cauliflower and half broccoli mash! Cauliflower hater in my household had 2 servings – so great that you can do all the steps together and walk away for 20’mins will defiantly become a weekly staple

  10. This was delish, everyone devoured it! I did half potato and cauliflower for the mash, used veggie stock, added mushrooms and I accidently forgot to add the peas but still came out great. Thanks for another great recipe Nik ☺

  11. This is my “go to” emergency dinner dish! So EASY! and everyone is more than happy to eat it!
    Thankyou so much!

  12. Made this tonight for the first time. I used lamb mince and veggie stock, added a capsicum and an extra carrot and put parmesan on the mash. I would add more veggies next time but it is delicious 🙂 Will definitely make it again

  13. I never comment on recipes but this was delicious!! I didnt have tomato paste so I put a tin of tomatoes in and no water. Added a heaped tablespoon of vege stock bone broth powder.

  14. Thanks for this fabulous all in one meal. I made a double portion and used cauli mash. My daughter is quite sick at the moment so the ease of this recipe has allowed me to get a wholesome meal on the table for dinner tonight’ and still look after her.

  15. This has become part of our regular weeknight meals. Instead of the paprika I use a dash of curry powder, cinnamon and ground cloves. It’s such a tasty meal (not to mention quick and easy).

  16. Yum! Great wholesome cheap meal – so much better than I remember it being as a kid… will definitely make this one again. Will hide some more veggies next time too.
