My boyfriend really wants to make a Shepherd's Pie this weekend, but has no idea the amounts of stuff to use. He wants to make about 6-8 servings, using the ingredients: Beef, Pearl Onions, Potatoes, and Corn.
We have no idea how much of each to use! Please Help!!!

Do not use beef. That's blasphemy. A Shepherd keeps sheep. A true shepherd's pie uses left-over roast lamb or mutton which is minced up together with onion and add salt and pepper to taste. Combine it with the gravy also sometimes leftover and put in deep pie dish. Top with a layer of mashed potato and a couple of dots of butter and bake about 350deg until golden brown. It' so simple and tastes great.

Use 1 pound of lean ground beef. Cook the onions in it along with garlic powder, salt, pepper until it is browned. Line your pie plate with your pie crust. Pour the cooked ground beef, and onions into the crust and spread it flat. Put 1 can of creamed corn layered over the ground beef. Mix up a large batch of instant potatoes at least enough for 6 servings, and put this on the top of the layer of corn. Don't worry if it heaps up pretty tall. Put extra salt and pepper, and maybe a dash of paprika over top, and place in an oven at 350 degrees until the top browns slightly. Easy, and good!
