3. I add worcestershire sauce and a bit of curry add it to suit your taste you are right.... it does need an extra kick of flavour !!
4. add soya sauce to the gravy to make it nice or try putting cheese on top of the mash and browning it in the oven
5. i like Worcestershire and roasted garlic.all you do is coat your whole garlic bulb in olive oil and wrap in foil and bake in a 250 degree oven for 20 minutes.let cool and squeeze all the garlic out
6. lea and perrins and a few dashes of red wine
7. I cook my shepherds pie with cream corn in it and salt & pepper and onions with spices of your choice topped with creamy potatoes yummy
8. cheese u stir it all around and thats wot its all about
9. A matching stock cube (lamb for shepherds pie or beef for cottage pie), red wine, Worcestershire sauce, finely chopped mushrooms, grated carrot, appropriate herbs (mint for a shepherds pie, parsley for a cottage pie).
10. Worcester Sauce in the meat, and cheese in the mashed potato topping.
11. A shepherd
12. I like to keep my shepherds pie simple but I do add garlic and chopped celery leaves for a bit of extra flavour. I sometimes add some wine.
13. Worcestershire sauce or a good squeeze of HP.
14. try some grated fresh root ginger~a table spoon full~makes it warm and spicy not chili hot.
15. Worcester Sauce or a drop of red wine
16. Believe it or not, I like to add A1 steak sauce and worchestershire sauce to mine, along with all the other seasonings like salt and pepper and seasoning salt.
17. Beef oxo cube or 2 ;o) Di xxx
18. when i make it i add bay leafs red wine chicken stock mushrooms carrots onion, leek and some chopped garlic but its down to each preference how much of each you use, try adding mixed herbs, and a splash of hendersons relish
19. I like to add oxo cubes,a splash of worcestershire sauce and mushrooms...and I top it with cheesy mash..Yum-Yum :-)
20. Have tried various things: frozen peas - add a touch of sweetness or/and sweetcorn; a little tomatoe puree; of course various brand stock cubes; have topped with cheese and with dif flavored crisps i.e. cheese and onion, beef & inion and plain crisps; have also added a tine of baked beans to the meat... Shepherds Pie is a bit like soup making it's an art form not a precise science. Some other great ideas here. Happy cooking and eating!
21. A bit of cheese in the potato and tobasco sauce!
22. Rosemary? Garlic? Oregano? Chopped Tomatoes?
23. tomato puree and blk pepper and chopped celery.
24. I just prepare my usual savoury mince. Fry off onions and diced carrots, brown the mince, pour into a pan with 2 beef stock cubes and enough water to cover. Bring to the boil, then simmer gently for 50 mins, stirring occasionally. Add Bisto to the mince and stir for a few minutes.
25. Onion, diced carrots, lean mince, peas and then i thicken it with 'AAAHHH Bisto' always tastes good.:)
26. my mum used to use everything from an oxo cube to gravy granuels to curry powder to flavour it
27. Half a teaspoon of Cinnamon.
