Hello! And welcome to Holly’s Cooking Challenge.
This month, I will be making my Shepherd’s Pie Recipe and I hope you join me!

March 2025 Cooking Challenge
Shepherd’s Pie Recipe
This Shepherd’s Pie is an extra fast weeknight meal. It has saucy ground meat and vegetables covered in a mashed potato crust and baked to bubbly perfection.
You can prepare it fresh or use leftover meat and veggies. With a variety of shortcut sauce options, it is easy to customize for whatever you have in the pantry too. I’d say it doesn’t get any better, but it also freezes and reheats beautifully! What more could you want?!
This Month’s Alternative Recipe:
- Shepherd’s Pie Soup: This recipe takes a classic comfort food staple and turns it into a flavorful savory soup that is as much fun to eat as it is to create!
Everyday Comfort Alternative Recipe:
Try a recipe from my cookbook, Everyday Comfort, for this month’s cooking challenge! If you don’t have one, grab a copy here and cook with us.
- Lentil Shepherd’s Pie (p.80): This is the recipe that made me love lentils! This recipe has a rich and hearty sauce, it’s a homey twist that is just as cozy as the original.
After you make your version of my Shepherd’s Pie (remember, any variation is fine!), send a picture of your creation to cookingchallenge@spendwithpennies.com.
- Make the recipe of the month (or a variation of it!).
- Snap a photo of your creation.
- Email photos to cookingchallenge@spendwithpennies.com by the last day of the month at 11:59 PM PST for a chance to win a $100 Amazon gift card.
