I'll openly admit that I've never been a huge fan of shepherds pie. Tania loves it and shared her recipe with me saying I will definitely enjoy this one! This Thermomix Curried Shepherd's Pie certainly did change my opinion dramatically! This shepherds pie has been completely and utterly transformed with the addition of my ThermoFun Curry Blend! Brilliant idea Tania! :) Yes it is that amazing! You must, yes I am forcing you, (as it was forced upon me!) to try this recipe! :)
If you follow a low carb/keto lifestyle, adjust the ingredients accordingly and use my cauliflower mash recipe.
If you are wanting to cut down on the fighting at the dinner table for seconds and who gets the bigger serve - then I suggest individual ramekin/containers to cook it in. Perfect for when you only have a couple of serves to make and want to freeze some portions for later.
A really great recipe to make a couple of days before and let the flavours develop in the fridge overnight :D DELICIOUS!

This has become a family favourite. I make a large one with potato for the hubby & kids, and a small one for me with caulimash. My daughter likes to have the leftovers for breakfast the next day too.
