been guided by this recipe for quite a while:

Hell yeah. My SO loves this especially with lamb.

I usually use this recipe, similarly calling for an iron skillet: https://altonbrown.com/recipes/shepherds-pie/

Shepards tend sheep not cows, hence Shepard's Pie is made with lamb not beef. Beef based versions are normally called "Cottage Pie".

Drives me mad, as a brit living in America, that need shepherds pie over here is usually beef.

[–] protist@mander.xyz 3 points 10 hours ago

We don't eat much lamb, sorry.

And for the love of gods please don't think too hard about how they get baby oil the next time you're in the toiletries aisle.

[–] PixellatedDave@feddit.uk 3 points 4 hours ago

I have a thriving baby oil business. I keep all the raw resources in a shed out back...
