Time 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!

Different approach to a shepherd’s pie. When it cools down a bit, I can this being on my dinner table. Good SRC choice.
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!
Sooooooo much comfort! Love it!
This looks really good!! Love the BBQ flavors in it!
Shepherd’s pie is my husband’s favorite dinner. I think he would love this twist on it!
This was one of my choices when I had Desi’s blog. I’ve had it printed forever and now want to make it today!
You totally should, and the great past is you don’t have to bake it in the oven, perfect for hot weather!
This recipe is right up my alley! I love shepherds pie and this looks like an amazing variation! I’m seriously putting this on the menu for this week! Great choice!!
What a great take on a favourite. I’ll have to give this one a whirl.
Glad to be in ‘C’ with you. I’d love if you came and shared Wednesday night at my Pin’inspiration Party C:
Great Recipe. Looks wonderful! I love making recipes like this.
Pure comfort food! My hubby would love this!
That potato topping looks great. This reminds me of a casserole that my mom used to make.
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!
Oh, this looks wonderful!
Fantastic looking and sounds oh, so, good!
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”….
