Cow Pie

Thursday November 15

If Shepherd's Pie is made from sheep (usually "lamb"), but we cook it with ground beef, it must be called Cowherd's Pie, right? Well, maybe.

We were inspired to cook this, oddly enough, by Gordon Ramsay's "Kitchen Nightmares." On this show, he remade the truly horrific-looking shepherd's pie served at a place in Westhampton called Finn McCool's into something good to eat.

His own amazing foreshortened version is HERE,
and his abbreviated version is also visible on YouTube.

Done!

He uses lamb, of course, so we adapted - thus the "Cow Pie." Also, into the finished ground beef mix, we threw some chopped vegetables (mainly potatoes, carrots, and parsnips) left over from the pot roast. Oh, and we made the potato topping with cream rather than egg yolks. Still delicious, though.
