The meat mixture can be made ahead and frozen. You can also substitute instant potatoes for the real thing if you're in a hurry. I especially love to use white cheddar in this recipe! In this simple shepherd's pie recipe, we call for flavorful lean ground lamb, which isn't always easy to find.

Steps to make Quick Shepherd's Pie:
  1. Boil potatoes (put a pinch of salt in the water while boiling)
  2. Boil and shred the chicken (add a little salt)
  3. Boil peas
  4. Chop tomatoes
  5. Add olive oil to a skillet
  6. Add tomatoes, salt (enough to make the tomatoes soft), peas.
  7. Let the peas cook till medium soft, mash them a little and keep aside.
  8. Marinate the boiled chicken in red chilli powder, salt, pepper powder, garlic paste. Put it in the fridge for as long as you want (I left it for 4 hours)
  9. Mash the potatoes with some butter
  10. Grease the insides of a microwave safe bowl with butter
  11. Place the peas mixture at the bottom, layer it with the chicken marinade, top it off with the mashed potatoes. Then place the cheese slices.
  12. Place the bowl in the microwave and use the baked potato setting to cook. If you don't have that setting don't worry, just cook it on convection for 5-7 minutes or u til the cheese starts to brown.

You can use lean ground beef or turkey instead. Traditionally, shepherd's pie is made with lamb (hence the name). However, as the dish gained wider popularity outside of its native English homeland (where using beef would make this a cottage pie), beef became a common substitute, especially in America where it's more widely available than ground lamb. That being said, I love me a good "cheat" meal like this Easy Shepherd's Pie. Add a side salad and you're good to go!
