Shepherd's pie was historically made with mutton or lamb, which is why it is called 'shepherd's' pie; using beef actually makes it a 'Cottage Pie'!

Chef's Notes
Do not skip the browning phase of the beef! Building that foundational fond at the bottom of the pot is where all the deep, majestic flavor originates.
Pro Tip
Warm your half-and-half slightly before mashing into the potatoes to keep them fluffy, hot, and gloriously smooth.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Beware of the soggy potato landslide! If you fail to remove the trivet or let the potatoes sit in excess liquid before mashing, you will end up drowning your savory meat filling in a gluey, lukewarm potato swamp instead of a glorious, golden-crusted pie.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
I asked the chef why we call it shepherd's pie when it uses beef, and he said it's just 'identity theft with a potato mask.'
The Culinary Science
Cooking potatoes under high steam pressure forces moisture evenly into the starch cells, making them remarkably tender and vastly easier to mash.
