About This Product
Our HQ Meats Shepherd's Pie is a hearty, made-in-house classic — seasoned ground meat and vegetables topped with creamy mashed potato.
How to Reheat It
- Preheat oven to 218°C/425°F.
- Defrost the pie in the refrigerator before baking — do not bake from frozen.
- Bake at 218°C/425°F for 30 minutes.
- Reduce oven temperature to 191°C/375°F and continue baking for another 30 minutes, until the potato top is golden and the filling is piping hot throughout.
- Rest 5 minutes before serving.
Safe Reheating Temperature
| What | Internal Temp |
|---|---|
| Pre-cooked/prepared foods | 74°C / 165°F |
Check the center of the filling with a digital thermometer to confirm it reaches at least 74°C/165°F. Only reheat once. (Source: Health Canada safe cooking temperature guidelines.)
Chef's Tip
Bake on a tray to catch any drips, and if the potato top is browning faster than the middle is heating through, loosely tent it with foil for the second stage.
