Shepherd's pie always uses lamb mince. The clue is in the name; shepherds tend sheep. Spread mashed potatoes over top and using the back of a spoon, make decorative swirls over the top. This is an American Shepherd's pie. Ground beef, peas, and carrots is what we use over here, with LOTS of cheddar on top :) I've never seen anyone in the US serve Shepherd's pie with anything but ground beef.
