It\u2019s perfect for St. Patrick\u2019s day, but it\u2019s too tasty to save just for special occasions! <\/p>\n\n\n\n This shepherd’s pie recipe easy enough to make anytime!<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Update:<\/strong> I\u2019ve updated this post with new photos and pressure cooking instructions for easy shepherd\u2019s pie. I hope you and your family enjoy it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n This Instant Pot Shepherd\u2019s Pie recipe will work in any brand of electric pressure cooker, including the Instant Pot<\/a>, Ninja Foodi<\/a>, or Power Pressure Cooker XL<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I first made this easy shepherd\u2019s pie for my sons\u2019 friend Mitch. He always loves my food, and shepherd\u2019s pie is one of his favorite homemade dishes. It always makes me smile to make this recipe. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Traditionally, shepherd’s pie contains ground lamb. However, you can easily make this recipe with ground beef. On weeknights, I typically use beef. But when I feel like making a fancier dinner, I love buying lamb. <\/p>\n\n\n\n (If you\u2019re local to Utah, I buy from Morgan Valley Lamb at the Wasatch Front Farmers Market<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019ll need cooked potatoes to make this recipe in the Instant Pot. These days, I rarely cook potatoes on the stove. The pressure cooks them better and faster. The recipe includes my instructions to make fast steamed potatoes that mash up perfectly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You can also make your potatoes ahead of time, if you prefer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We love the look and the crisp edges you get from piping the potatoes on top of this pie. With a piping bag, it doesn\u2019t add a ton of time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Of course, you can just as easily spoon on the potatoes. If you make some nice curves with your spoon or spatula, you’ll get some crispy edges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Also, the pie doesn\u2019t have to be browned in the oven. If you\u2019re less worried about presentation, an air fryer lid will also crisp up the potatoes on your shepherd\u2019s pie beautifully. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For the photo below, I used my kitchen torch to give the inner piped edges a bit more definition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One helpful reader, Ashley, left us a great tip about how to cook Instant Pot Shepherd\u2019s Pie with frozen beef. She used the trick from our Electric Pressure Cooker Cookbook<\/a> that we use for tacos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you forget to thaw the ground beef or lamb<\/strong>, you can still make one-pot shepherd\u2019s pie quite easily. Here\u2019s how to do it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks again, Ashley, for this smart, time-saving tip for cooking the potatoes and frozen ground beef at the same time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n This Instant Pot Shepherd’s pie<\/strong> is too delicious to only eat on Saint Patrick\u2019s Day, much like these other comforting recipes to try:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do you LOVE this recipe? <\/strong><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
