Episode 267: REVIEW Trader Joe’s Shepherd’s Pie
Posted by: Gregory Ng: The Frozen Food Master
I’m convinced if you have a piece of meat, some vegetables, and a starch, you can make a shepherd’s pie. In fact in college, I used to take some leftover manwich, some Idahoan, and some canned corn and layered them into what I affectionately called shepherd’s pie. But I was young and naive and it wasn’t anything close to what shepherd’s pie was supposed to be.
In fact, according to wikipedia, Shepherd’s Pie with beef is actually called Cottage Pie. Shepherd’s pie is cottage pie with lamb. This Trader Joe’s Shepherd’s Pie is neither a cottage pie nor is it made with lamb. Rather it is like a beef stew with mashed potatoes on top.

I've had awesome Shepherd's Pie, and horrible Shepherd's pie. I guess it depends on where you get it, or if you make it myself. My husband doesn't like mashed potatoes in casserole form, so I usually only get it when I'm sick and someone from church brings me dinner.

Big peas, succulent pot roast, what's not to like about shepherd's pie? Next to Mac&Cheese and Meatloaf this is on the list. I will be heading to TJ's tomorrow to look for this one, thanks Greg
