My DH Richard made this for our dinner last night. He's decided he wants to try more new recipes and more recipes from the "chip", so he decided to make this.
He doubled the recipe as it's quite a lot of effort to go to, to make a pie with only 2 serves (and we like to have left overs to have for lunch the next day).
Double the recipe worked well. It did seem to take a long time to make and it made an enormous amount of dishes - maybe this is a "boy thing" and doesn't reflect on the recipe. I certainly think it's quicker and easier to make a shepherd's pie the traditional stove top way.
The lamb mixture was very tasty and the bean mash was a lovely and a nice change to the traditional potato topping. We both enjoyed it (although it was a chore cleaning up afterwards!).
