BBQ Beef Shepard’s Pie

BBQ Beef Shepard's PieTime for another round of The Secret Recipe Club! First I’d like to say a warm thank you to Debbi our brand new hostess, our little club wouldn’t be possible with out those few extra folks willing to do a little extra work! Although Angie , you will be missed! This month I got the pleasure of receiving Steak and Potatoes Kinda Girl, I was excited because that is exactly how  I would describe myself. As per usual there were just far too many great recipes to choose from, I gotta admit, picking the new recipe is my favorite part. I finally decided on the BBQ Beef Shepard’s Pie. We have a Shepard’s pie recipe that we use and love so I thought it would be nice to change it up a bit and as a special bonus this one doesn’t bake, so on these super hot summer days it was a perfect comforting dinner without heating up the whole house. Thanks Desi!

  1. Glad you liked the recipe! Always nice to meet a fellow steak and potatoes kinda gurl :) Hope you had fun perusing my blog this month, and so fun to be in SRC with you!

  2. I bet my husband would love this! We had an Olympics themed dinner party this past weekend (yes, late, I know) and someone brought Shepards Pie. He practically licked his plate clean. I’ve never seen it made with BBQ sauce before, though. Since that’s his favorite sauce, I can only imagine it’d make it even more delicious! Wonderful pick!

  3. shepherds pie is one of those dishes that just totally reminds me of my childhood. it was always something that my mom or dad used to throw together for quick re-heating on busy nights.

    something i’ve learned recently from my UK boyfriend: american shepherds pie is not shepherds pie. it’s cottage pie. shepherds pie is called shepherds pie because it has lamb (hence the shepherd), not beef. weird, eh? and i’m obviously canadian “eh”….
