Canadian Shepherd’s Pie Recipe

3 Tips for a “Cottage Country” Result

• The Fork Trick: Always run a fork across the top of the potatoes in a cross-hatch pattern. Those little ridges turn into crunchy “potato chips” while baking.

• The “Pâté Chinois” Ratio: The classic Quebecois ratio is 1:1:1. You want equal layers of meat, corn, and potatoes for the perfect bite.

• Ketchup is Mandatory: In most Canadian households, it is practically a law to serve this with a side of ketchup for dipping or drizzling.
