shepherds pie

[PlimoMan]

Would shepherds pie be a good meal for bulking up, using drained lean ground beef. Would this be a good Pro/Carb? Should I rinse the beef after I cook it?

I'd suspect there are many variations in how to prepare this dish.

If you could list the recipe, ingredients used, etc., I'd speculate that would be a ton easier to draw a conclusion.

Well there is no recipe that I really use!

1. I cook the beef, drain it, stick it in the bottom of a pot (about an inch)
2. Pour some can cream corn on top (about 1/2 inch)
3. Put some mashed patatoes on top (about 1 1/2 to 2 inchs)

Then I cook it in the oven for about an hour.

Well, for bulking I suppose it's okay depending upon when you use it.

I'd make sure I use 4%, still drain it w/hot water, then dump it in the pan and re-season it. (if u season it)

Then make sure there's not a lot of fat in the creamed corn, and make the mashed potatoes w/no butter.

I.E., I'd aim to try to make this as clean of a protein/carb meal as I could.
