when I do sheperds pie I dont really cook it in the over lol I cheat cos I can't be assed to wait.
I just fry some mince, buy a bag of mixed veg (I spose you could elave that out) then add tomoato passata or chopped tomatoes then seasoning (I add worcestershire sauce, ketchup and brown sauce) if its too runny I pop some gravy in... then do cheesey mashed potato.
For stew, I ahve a slow cooker so I just literally bung everything int here... normally beef cubed, some potato some carrot some onion or leek mushrooms maybe... anything like that then cover with water and add stock or whatever you fancy and just leave it cook!
oooh yum fajita's are gooooooooood
