Equipment

  • Chef's Knife - Essential for chopping vegetables and meat accurately and efficiently.

  • Cutting Board - Vital for preparing ingredients without damaging countertops.

  • Large Mixing Bowl - Useful for combining the ground beef with onions, garlic, and spices.

  • Medium Saucepan - Necessary for cooking ground beef to the correct consistency.

  • Dutch Oven - Great for slow-cooking the shepherd's pie filling at a low temperature without burning.

  • Meat Grinder (optional) - Can be used if you prefer pre-ground meat, but more common to have a good knife and cutting board for this recipe.

  • Oven-Safe Baking Dish - The final crucial item for baking the shepherd's pie in the oven.

  • Silicone Spatula - Useful for scraping sides of pans and ensuring all ingredients are incorporated.

  • Mixer (optional) - For making mashed potatoes more efficiently if preferred, though a large mixing bowl can suffice too.

  • Colander - Useful for draining cooked ground beef and boiling peeled sweet corn kernels before adding them to the filling.
