Shepherd's Pie in the Ninja Foodi (Cottage Pie) 

Thank you so much for doing this. I have been wanting to make it forever and wasn’t sure how to do it in the foodi. You are the best. I can’t wait to make this. Thanks again.

Started cooking in the FoodI just this month, and your videos are the gold standard for instruction. I also love your personality, so you are my "go to gal" when it comes to cooking. Thanks for all your help. My husband wants to thank you too, he loves your recipes.

I love that you adjust things as you go! You are a great cook. Completely unflappable.

I have had my ninja for 6 month and haven’t dare to use. Till now! You are wonderful !! I think I will spend the next couple days watching your videos and then I should be good to go. Thank you. !! Can’t wait.👏👏❤️👵🏻

Well Louise my wife and I just made this (stuck in the house ) THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST Shepherds Pie we have ever had!!! So worth it!! My wife actually said "well I can't make mine anymore" LOL!! SO FLAVORFUL!!! You are the best thank you!!!!! Just so tasty and delicious!!!

Thank you so much for your un-complicated recipes. Unlike so many other cooking recipes, elsewhere, you don't use ingredients that I have never heard of. Your instructions are clear and so comprehensive, even for a base cook like me. Thank you so, so, so much.

I will certainly try this recipe. My wife has Lyme's disease and can't eat meat anymore and this would be wonderful with the turkey as a substitute. And I must disagree with your comment that this is just like a restaurant. This was way better than anything I've ever seen in a restaurant so kudos to you. Thank you

I made this last night and it was another slam dunk hit with the hubby!

I've had my Ninja Foodie 8qt for 4 days now... cooked my Thanksgiving ham, made Chicken Cordon Blue, bacon and eggs... and just tonight I made this Cottage Pie.. OMG this was superb !! Thank you... I love your videos!!

I've been obsessed with your videos since I got my Ninja foodi! This is the most gorgeous looking cottage pie I've ever seen, it isn't dry like what I'd get from the oven. Can't wait to make it this winter!

i love the mix and chop also

Just made the cottage pie, really love your channel, easy to follow makes cooking a joy again, don’t know what we would do without you

WOW thank you so much for sharing this, I have just bought a ninja, so all very new to this, I was able to follow your instructions really well and this was the best tasting cottage pie I’ve ever made. I can’t wait to try out some of your other recipes.

Just made your shepherds/cottage pie x it was awesome x your instructions were spot on and so easy to follow x I will be using your recipes first in future x I’ve only had my ninja for 3 days and I’m in love with the gorgeous monster x x keep ninja cooking x your the best x love Rose x x x

So, i just started looking up Ninja Foodi recipes since I ordered one on the Amazon Prime deal. So far i've run into about 4 of your videos for specific recipes I was looking for. Love em! I have to say... you would do well to have a food show on something like the Food Network. Your videos already have that feel/vibe to them and Keep up the great work!.

I needtoo make this recipe. I have seen this dish so many times but never tried too make it. Thanks for sharing this dish. God Bless.

I just made this last night for the family and we all LOVED it! I did add 1/2 tsp of oregano just because I thought it sounded good but followed the rest of the recipe. The only thing my family said they wanted was more meat so maybe next time bump it up to 2 pounds and see if that makes a difference. But seriously, my picky eaters ate this with onions and garlic (I didn't tell them to look for it and diced onions really small) without picking it out and said they didn't know it was in there until they were finished eating when I told them what all was in it. Thank you for the delicious recipe!

I canot cook but with your videos the ones i tried are beyond hreat you are wonderful. I have nowords to describe you.

My mom didn’t make shepherd’s pie with cheese. That’s why your recipe looks so different to me. Like Mac and cheese 🙂. I love cheese, too!

I made yogurt took 3 trys but did it family love it and tonight making sheppard pie

My family loves “Cottage Pie” so glad you did this I really hate running my oven

I’m making this at midnight 😂 my mawmaw got me a Foodi as a housewarming gift. I love it so much. Your videos are so amazing and help me out immensely. Thank you!

Why am I watching this at 8 in the morning! I’m tempted to have it for breakfast! 😋

I have just bought the Ninja foodie after binge watching your videos, thank you you explain things really very well.

By continuing to stir with a chop & stir once the meat was done you have turned it into baby food. I lived in the UK for over 10 years and my dad was from Scotland as well as his parents and grandparents who came here a long time ago. There is never any garlic whether it's fresh or roasted in a cottage pie or shepherd's pie. These were meant to be very quick meals because there is no crust that could be thrown together on a break from tending a flock or a busy day at home. Once UMass potatoes go on the top you want to make a pattern with a fork so that you've got Peaks and valleys and you only want a smattering of G's you don't want to cover the whole thing with a cup of two of cheese. Just a couple of tips and an FYI for anybody willing to read this! :-)

Hello Louise: Just wanted to pop in and let you know I tried this tonight for dinner. I had my doubts about this but tried it any way. It was fantastic and is something I will be making again. My husband and I both went back for seconds. Thank you so much for sharing this with all of use it was great.

Oh this made my mouth water!! I'm doing a ketogenic diet...so I will follow this making change of potatoes with mashed cauliflower...but I can't wait to try this, thank you!!

You are the perfect cook for me

I made this tonight according to your recipe and it was fantastic!!! I could have eaten more than one plate it was so good. Thank you so much for your wonderful talent in the kitchen.

I just found your channel yesterday. Neither my wife nor I can cook to save our lives. We have an InstantPot but are considering the Foodi as a replacement. Thank you for these informative videos, and the recipes. We’re going to pick up a Foodi this evening, and tomorrow I’m going to try this recipe.

Eating this delight right now. You nailed it !

I am going to make this to take to my parents home for our passing dish for this coming Easter Sunday dinner, and I cannot tell you how excited I am, I will be using venison from a nice doe I took last fall instead of beef or lamb, I can't help but think it's gonna be a massive hit! Thank you! I love your channel and I love my Ninja Foodi!

Hi Louise! Things to bring to a desert island: 1- Ninja Foodi 2- your videos Ty for another great recipe! Love you and your channel!☺❤

Perfect for this Wisconsin Winter. Making this on Sunday.

This looks Devine! Making it this weekend! Thank you 🙏🏼 please write a cookbook for your recipes 💕

Just bought the 8 quart on Friday and the wife and I followed this recipe, it was awesome! We are looking at your other creations for our next meal. Enjoy the videos and the help, keep up the great work.

Thank for showing how to make a shepherd pie. You are the best.

Another great recipe that I can’t wait to try

Loving this. Gonna give it a go. Thanks

I just used this recipe and it was delicious!! My mom has trouble eating but she had two bowls even my hubby likes it and he can be picky . Thank you I’m so grateful 😊

Great video, Shepherds pie was made with lamb as shepherds usually had this, as there job was looking after sheep. also it was usually made with a pastry base, that way they could easily carry it into the fields (their workplace) without any further packaging. It would be eaten cold. Your videos are excellent and look very professional.

I just subscribed to my first RU-vid channel ever....thank YOU and your husband for doing this video... and many of the other videos myself and possibly we all have watched. I wanted to say its sooo refreshing you do not spam endorsements in your videos and let your experienced Ninja cooking talk! You just get-r-done. I bought my very special parents a Ninja 8 qt AF/PC (Air fryer/Pressure Cooker( so they can teach myself prior to jumping in on the air fryer/pressure cooking. I travel so much i actually relish the thought of the good ole down home cooking and my parents continued cooking guidance...love my parents and this new method of cooking gave them another activity in their 80th + years. Your a gem, please keep this channel going, we appreciate YOU!!!!

Love your style of cooking, great recipe. I found a potato ricer helps get an even layer over the top

Hubby bought me the Ninja Foodi last Christmas 2018, and finally after watching many of your wonderful videos this past week, I pulled out the Foodi. Even joined the FB group! It's great because it doesn't heat up my kitchen in S. FL. I love your approach and method of explanation - learn something new every time. I've wandered around the RU-vid watching others using the Ninja, but you are in a class of your own and really have that Food Channel quality! I remember my British grandmother (60 yrs ago) making Shepherd's pie when I was a little girl. She did make it with a pie crust if my memory is correct. I loved it! I found a recipe years ago for making "Shepherd"s Pie" with lobster (cottage?) and it was absolutely delicious! Don't know what I did with the recipe, but it takes the dish up a notch, especially with wine in the sauce. Between Amazon and Pampered Chef I have a cabinet full of new kitchen cooking/baking items and my husband loves my renewed interest in cooking thanks to you! One request, if you ever come up with some meals that are converted to Keto, I would really appreciate your adaptation. I am seriously thinking of doing a Keto lifestyle diet (so hard cuz I love sweets), because I really need to cut back & lose some extra weight I have gained over the last several years. Any thoughts? Always watching and catching up! Great videos!!!

Made it last night and it was awesome! What wonderful flavors. We tried a recipe from the Ninja Foodi cookbook - epic fail. Not yours 2 for 2 and off the charts yummy. Thank you!

You go girl !!!! R you married? My parents are from Scotland & shephrds pie with lamb is my fav ....cottage pie looked wonderful !! I am so hungry now TY

Meal #2 in my new foodi and it was fantastic!! I've never been a fan of (Sheperds) Pie but I'm a convert now!! Added a take on your Mediterranean Greek Salad with it and it was as good as any restaurant meal! I might even like this better than the French Onion Chicken which was a major hit!! Thank you so much!!!

Can’t wait to make it if we ever get the Foodi available in Australia. Thanks. Rob

Great recipe and video and I'm certainly going to try this soon. I've had my ninja foodi about two weeks now and love it! Thank you for all the effort and inspiration you give. Full marks for nearly pronouncing worcestershire sauce correctly :) I'm from the UK and we just say it like it sounds "Woster Sauce"

Thank you for taking your time and teaching us how to cook and make delicious food with love and care. I just got my foodie 8qt love it and learning step by step how to cook, and you’re helping with your lovely videos.

As a born Scot, I am amazed at the combinations of ingredients included in your recipe. I am sure it is delish., but I guess as a purist of my families comfort food recipies I am trying to figure out how to make it in my newly purchased Ninja 8qt. We never used corn or garlic, not something in Scotland that was used 'back in the day', and we did not put cheese on it in my household either, kept it simple. I always have to use Bisto for my gravy and HP sauce on the side. But, I will give your recipe a try. Thank you for all of your tips. Love and light.

Hi Louise Randy from Maple Ridge BC again. I just got my NJ XL 8 qt today and made your cottage pie and it turned out great. My wife loved the flavor and how easy it was for me to make this , she does not cook. You are my go to gal , I love your video;s and your normal and fun way of cooking now. I am a newbie at this. so thank you so much.

I am from the uk ,it's really nice to see your variations on foods we both eat on different sides,of the Atlantic,but also the uses of the ninja,I'd never have thought of...I've not got one yet,but am slowly coming round to the idea😊

This recipe looks amazing! I can’t wait to try it in my brand new Foodi.

Hi Louise try piping your mashed potato on, you’ll get a more even distribution. The lid gets in the way so I take the pot out of the ninja foodi so I can make a good job of piping the mash, you can then sprinkle you cheeses on before putting it back in to air crisp. Love your recipes and videos.

I can't keep up with all the recipes i am going to make from watching your video's!!! From that awesome reuben sandwich to this cottage pie and everything in between!!!

Absolutely delicious recipe thank you. I made one recipe using beef, the other lamb and both came out perfect.Having lived in Ireland for 7 years I am unable to replicate Irish stew that I enjoyed so many times there. Perhaps a future quest as many of your followers in the US have irish ancestry.

looks great

Sunday Dinner is set. Thanks!

Amazing!! This was delicious!! Thank you for making this video. This was absolutely delicious. I love watching your videos, they are so easy to follow and understand. I love your organization and that you stick to the point of cooking. Thank you so much.

Because of you I bought one of those MIX N CHOPS... Love it.. This pie looks great.. One suggestion for the mash.. add some Greek plain Yogurt to the Potatoes.. I did that to a Potato and Chicken Pot Pie I made the other day... MMMmmmmMMM

Thank you so much for this wonderful recipe, I just made it and it is delicious! I made the roasted garlic added them to potatoes there were so good. It is a great idea to have everything prep ready to go.

I love all you’re recipe’s your awesome ❤️.

Thanks so much for sharing! I thought the 1 downside to the foodi vs instant pot was that you couldn't make yogurt in the foodi, but now I'm going to try! Thanks!

I just received my ninja foodie today and this will be the first meal I make with it!!

Thank you oh so very much for this recipe. We followed your instructions and it exceeded our expectations. It was fantastic. Thank you and God bless.

This is a fantastic dish. I think next time I will par boil the carrots. Mine took an extra twenty minutes on medium to really soften. Also, I took mine out of the foodi and put the the mix in individual pot pie bowls before I added the potatoes and cheese. Then I did the final heating in the oven. Everybody has there own masterpiece that way.

I was searching for are RU-vid video page to follow for my new ninja foodi . I believe I found my new home you do an excellent video!

Shepherd’s... Cottage... whatever you call it, this looks perfect! Thanks for another great video.

OMGOSH that looks amazing! I never knew you could adjust the temperature when using the Sauté function. So many great tips and hints. Yum. Gotta try this one! Thank you for another fabulous recipe!!!

Amazing video! My cottage pie turned out great thanks so much for the tips. Looks fab and extra crispy with a criss cross pattern in the potato topping too! From Yvey (Manchester, England, UK)

Great video! I love how you explain as you go along. My husband loves shepherd and cottage pie, I'll have to make this for him. Looks delicious!

Great recipe I love sheppard pie really scrumptious. From Trinidad

Hi Louise... I've watched quite a few of your videos now and have heard you say you struggle with mash. Once you have mashed, get a wooden spoon and beat hard... It's all in the finishing... I am the mash master.. lol. Also - might I suggest you add your carrots in a separate layer to the pressure cook? Save you overdoing the rest while waiting for carrots. Cheers x

Never had this and didn't think I'd like it and made it tonight loved it thankyou so much I'm a fan. Anything I make your videos are awsome and very simple to follow also the bread amazing I make that on a daily. :) thankyou

Hi there young lady, This was my virgin journey with Norman the Ninja. I followed your instructions and made your cottage pie this evening for my family. I have a very picky eater for a son, he asked for seconds !!! You got a like & subscribe from me. Thank you. 😃👍

Hey Louise I just made this and it is amazing!! I love the flavors!! Thank you for the recipe and the instruction!! You and Jeff are a great team!! Thank you both for all y'all do!!

What a great recipe! Thank you Louise for your inspirational teaching and guidance for a new Foodi owner...I feel confident in making my favorite recipes with the Ninja Foodi. Thanks again!

OMGsh...this looks amazing! I WILL be making this and the roasted garlic. Thank you.

Louise, I want to thank you for explaining the WHY of what you are doing. I am a lousy, lousy cook and have never been able to follow recipes because the rigid "Do this, do this, do this" aspects are real turn-offs for me. I am a conceptual learner, and I want to understand how things are supposed to work, not just follow steps. So, for example, your explanation about adding the flour and how to tell when you've added enough is great. I never understood why people add flour to recipes anyway, and now I not only know but know how to know I've added enough or not enough! I just ordered a Ninja Foodi thanks to you, even though I have two Instant Pots and a multifryer. (All I've been able to do so far is french fries, rice, and soup.) Please, in the future, comment on the new non-meat meats that are starting to become available (like the Beyond Meat and Impossible Meat products) and how using them might change how to approach your recipes. (Eating less meat is purported to be one of the best things individuals can do to help slow climate change, but I do so love my meat and cheese.)

Just got the Foodi for Christmas and have watched so many of your videos and tried some of your recipes. I feel like every day I'm buying another utensil I see featured in your videos 😆. I love how you demonstrate how to actually do each and every step, suggest options for substitutes, point out which ingredients are optional, and link everything so it's so easy to go back and find whatever you need to reference. Have you ever tried making tamales or pozole in the Foodi?!

Thank you!!! Made an incredible cottage pie.

I want to make this now!

I understand I'm late in watching this but it looks amazing. And I can't wait to make this for my family. Also I found the mix n chop at Dollar Tree. Total game changer since I bought it. Makes it so much easier to cook ground turkey and beef.

Looks lovely! I’m going to make this this evening for friends. By the way, in the UK when we say ‘Worcestershire’, we don’t pronounce the middle syllable, and slightly elongate the first syllable so that it sounds like the ‘woo’ in ‘wool’, so ‘Wooster sauce’.

Thank You Louise for sharing this Amazingly Delicious "Shepherds Pie". Very well explained and demonstrated ! We loved it and so simple to prepare!! Thanks Again!!

Looks great

What a great recipe! And your explanations are wonderful. Love your personality and I could totally see us hanging together.

I loved playing "Spot the pampered chef item" with this video! I was a UK consultant and miss it so much. I will be making this tonight! wish me luck :-)

Awesome dish. Thx. It took an hour total; likely because we took a lot longer than 5 min for prep time .... even discounting the Roasted Garlic step. Despite the benefit of doing this once thru; I still don't think prep could be anywhere near as short as 5 min.

Awesome! I’m definitely going to make this!

Worcestershire sauce, you pronounced it perfectly 👍

That looks outstanding! Trying this one! YUM!

Looking forward to trying this recipe out this week :)

Thanks! God's Blessings For The Salted Pepper!

I made this yesterday and it was a big hit!

It’s nice and easy she who must be obeyed loves it haha I is a cook thanks to you Cheers

Ohhh...I love your blouse! I know...totally off topic,. but it is pretty. Think I'm going to make this recipe when my husband comes home in a week.

Omg love this! I need to do a keto version to this 👍

This looks amazing !! Came across your Chanel while searching for ole fashioned pound cake made in the Foodi, no such found Everyone is doing box cakes, I’m anew subscriber to your channel, just got my Foodi, and I’m loving it, Thanks for sharing !! ☹️❤️😀
