Place the peeled and quartered potatoes in medium sized pot. Cover with cold water. Add a teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook until tender (about 20-25 minutes).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the potatoes are boiling, let\u2019s saut\u00e9 the mushrooms and onions in large pan for about 5 minutes until the onions are soft. Add the venison and bacon to the pan with the onions and mushrooms. Fry everything until the meat takes on a nice brown color and the fat on the bacon is rendered down. Next, add the red wine, Worcestershire sauce, fresh herbs and venison broth. Bring the sauce to a simmer and reduce heat to low. Cook uncovered for 10 minutes. Next add cream and a little potato water to thicken the sauce. Season with salt and pepper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the potatoes are cooked mash them together with butter, egg yolks, milk, grated nutmeg, parmesan, and season with salt and pepper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, layer the meat mixture and mashed potatoes in a casserole dish. Spread the mashed potatoes over the top of the venison. Rough up the surface of the mashed potatoes with a fork so there are peaks that will get well browned. Make a few holes in the mashed potatoes so the steam can come out. Put in the oven at 175 \u00b0 for 25-30 min. Serve your Shepard\u2019s Pie with a nice fresh salad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bon Appetite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.zeiss.com\/sports-optics\/hunting\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/Shepards_Pie_ENG.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Recipe Download<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Shepard\u2019s Pie made the traditional way is made with lamb.
