Shepherd’s pie is a classic comfort food that hails from the British Isles, traditionally made with minced meat and topped with a layer of creamy mashed potatoes. This cheddar and chive version adds a delightful twist by incorporating sharp cheddar cheese and fresh chives into the potato topping, giving it an extra burst of flavor. The richness of the melted cheese paired with the freshness of the chives makes it a dish that’s hard to resist. Perfect for a weeknight meal or a potluck, this recipe’s blend of savory ingredients and creamy topping is sure to become a family favorite.
Serve this hearty cheddar and chive shepherd’s pie with a side of steamed green beans or a fresh garden salad to balance out the richness of the dish. For a more traditional pairing, consider buttered peas or roasted carrots. A nice crusty bread would also complement the meal well, offering a satisfying crunch alongside the creamy potato topping and savory filling.
