Help! What can I serve with Shepherds Pie to make it go further??!


Question: Help! What can I serve with Shepherds Pie to make it go further!?!?
I've made a biggish Shepherds Pie for a late supper, with peas!. Didn't do extra potatoes (I never see the point!.!.!.my Mum serves new potatoes on the side)

Now Hubby has phoned to remind me he will be home in ten mins and is bringing three (hungry) guys that were helping him with our renovation project!.!.!.sh*it, I forgot about them!.

I could probably get away with a dollop of pie on each plate and quickly steam some carrots to go with the peas!.!.!.but what could I add to make it go further!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
ooh good one - cos you have everything you need in the pie (potatoes, meat and veg!)
hmmmm!.!.!. dont you have any other veg!? we always have in those birdseye bags of steamed veg which take 3 mins in the m/wave!.
id have to say more veg, and some crusty bread!.
failing that, chips!!Www@FoodAQ@Com

have you got any garlic bread in the freezer, that always works well with shepherds pie!.
chips would be deffinately make it go further and with the garlic bread and veg would be a very hearty filling meal!.

other than that any other veg you could cook up with it would also work!. cabbage, green beans, cauliflour and broccolli, carrots, peas with sweetcorn etc!.

good luck hope all goes well,

ps if you cant find anything to make it go far enough, have you got a few tins of soup and some fresh bread and you could always make it a 2 course meal!?!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

Quickly whip up a batch of Yorkshire puds, they'll go well with Shepards Pie!.!.!.have a starter of salad with ham/cheese/eggs and whatever you have in the freezer for pud!.!.!.!.that will fill them up and looks like you've gone to a lot of trouble=]

Garlic bread - Spread bread with butter and minced garlic and broil!. Fresh salad made from lettuce, cucumber and tomato, with olive oil, vinegar and salt!.

Tricky situation in such a short time!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Crusty bread if you have any (but no butter) it never goes right with shepherds pie!. Some fresh tomatoes and onions on the side would be nice!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Extra veggies, salad, cornbread or biscuits, etc!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I agree with the first answer - crusty bread and salad, plus the dinner should definitely fill those boys up!Www@FoodAQ@Com

The salad & bread answers were good !.!.!.!. and have some ice cream and cookies for dessert, in case they're still a little hungryWww@FoodAQ@Com

Garlic bread or dough balls would be nice with it too!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

salad, veggies, fried anything! Bread with butter or crusty bread!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
