Quorn Shepherd's Pie Recipe
I am a big fan of shepherds pie but I confess to being absolutely rubbish at making mashed potato. I don't know why, I just can't ever get it right! When I found that you can buy frozen mashed potato in the supermarket it was a revelation! It's nothing like Smash or other fake mashed potato products, it really is just mashed potato, frozen and using it means that making this Quorn Shepherd's pie recipe is really a doddle.
I've also used frozen vegetables here for ease. Frozen vegetables are often just as nutritious as fresh and this saves on peeling and chopping, perfect if you are time poor like me.
Shepherd's pie is one of the most soul comforting foods. The combination of mash and gravy and veg brings back memories of Sunday dinners and it's warm and filling and cheap to make. Traditionally of course it is made with lamb but this vegetarian version uses Quorn and is just as delicious. Quorn is much lower in fat too which makes it healthier for you and the perfect choice for a meat free Monday option.

The thing that puts me off making Shepherd's Pie is the faff of making mash, then you don't even get to eat it straight away. So this is one for leftover mash for sure. What is the frozen one like? Does it have any added ingredients? I would be worried about high salt content for that.

Hi, The one I use is from Asda, and has added butter, salt and pepper. The salt content is not massively high but it would obviously be better if you made your own mash, I'm just too lazy! To be honest I think the salt content in the gravy is the part to worry about if you are watching your salt levels.
