Shepherds Pie

What is it?

Lamb mince sits in a savoury gravy under a layer of mashed potato, ready to heat from frozen. Built as a classic shepherd's pie, the filling stays separate from the mash, with the potato acting like a lid rather than a mixed topping. Compared with some other frozen meals in the range, this one is simpler and more familiar, with the focus on mince, gravy, and potato rather than extra vegetables or sauce-heavy additions. Lamb gives the filling a richer, gamier flavour than beef would, which is the traditional distinction between a shepherd's and cottage pie. Mash browns lightly on top during baking, creating a thin crust. Portion suits a single serving, though you could stretch it with bread and vegetables on the side.
