Guinness Shepherd's Pie

Guinness Shepherd's Pie

By Traeger Kitchen

This shepherd’s pie has been given an upgrade with Guinness beer and a kiss of hickory smoke. If you prefer lamb, use the same amount as beef, but pour off some of the fat after cooking it and before adding the onion. Finally, it doesn't matter whether you cook the meat or mash the potatoes first; you can even do it at the same time if space allows.
