Great and flexible recipe! I have made this recipe several times. I love it and so does everyone who tries it.

Best Shepherd’s Pie ever. I tried this a month ago and my college kid said it was the best dinner he’d ever had. I’m making it again tonight for his last dinner home this fall and he is so excited. It is delicious!

A delicious filling with lots of gravy underneath a fluffy layer of mashed potatoes, are perfect for a cold night, or as a special event treat.
