About Shepherd's Pie
Minced lamb cooked with onions and carrots in gravy, topped with mashed potato and baked. A home-cooked portion is about 321 kcal — lighter than most people expect, because the potato topping and vegetables bulk it out.
Tip: A cheese crust on top adds about 100 kcal per portion. Make it with lean mince and a little extra veg to keep it light.
