Leftover Lamb Shepherd's Pie
Leftover Lamb Shepherd's Pie is a delicious casserole recipe with a unique twist on the old classic - using stout beer and tater tots! Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large onion (chopped)
- 2 large carrots (peeled and sliced)
- 1 tablespoon garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoon tomato paste
- 2 cups lamb stock (or beef stock)
- 1 tablespoon worcestershire
- ½ cup stout beer
- 1½ teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 pound leftover cooked lamb (cut into bite size pieces)
- ¾ cup frozen sweet peas
- 4 cups frozen tater tots (thawed)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Preheat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and carrots and saute until tender, about 6 to 7 minutes.
- Add garlic and tomato paste to the skillet and saute for 3 minutes.
- Stir in broth, worcestershire, beer, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to a simmer. Continue to simmer until liquid reduces by about 20% and thickens, approximately 10 minutes.
- Stir in lamb and peas then transfer to a casserole dish that has been sprayed with nonstick spray.
- Top the pie with a single layer of thawed tater tots.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until tots are golden brown and casserole is bubbly. (Note: for even more golden brown and crispy tots, place the casserole under a broiler for a few minutes until you get the desired color)

- SUBSTITUTIONS: Substitute cooked ground lamb mince instead of leftover lamb roast; Use mashed potatoes instead of tater tots if desired. Make your own - or buy them pre-made; Use all beef stock instead of stout beer.
- VARIATION: To make this keto: make a cauliflower mash with cream and butter and spread over the top like you would with traditional mashed potatoes. Use beef stock or a low-carb beer instead of stout beer. Omit the peas completely or substitute chopped green beans.
- TOP TIPS: Make sure to use thawed taters tots. It's super important that they are thawed or they will not cook all the way through.
