Shepherd’s Pie

This is a great comfort food and easy to serve with a side of vegetables or salad.

What to put on label:

In the Notes section:

  • Bake, covered, for 30 minutes at 180 degrees once defrosted. Uncover and bake for an additional 10 minutes if needed.
  • Serve with salad or vegetables. (These can either be supplied by yourself or the recipient can use what they have)
  • Serving size: Choose from below, depending what size foil dish you used.

 

This will make enough to fill one large family-sized foil tin (serves 6); or 2 medium foil tins (serves 3-4 each); or 4 small individual-sized foil tins (serves about 1-2 each). [These are rough measurements]

 

*To make gluten-free, use Delmaine Worcestershire Sauce, Vegeta stock powder, and a GF flour – Edmonds or Countdown brands are good ones. Please specify on label which brands used if marking as GF.

*To make dairy-free, use a dairy-free milk, such as almond, a dairy-free butter spread, such as Olivani or margarine, and omit the cheese. Please specify on label which brands used if marking DF.
