I made shepherd's pie tonite

[moroccangirl]

I know it's not real shepherd's pie. I used ground beef. But I still love it. I roast garlic and mash it and add it to the mashed potatoes.
Thank goodness DH likes leftovers because it will be dinner tomorrow again since I made a little too much.

Shepherdess pie is a meat free shepherd's pie. I rarely  hear cottage pie mentioned anymore, and in the uk lamb is hardly ever used for shepherd's pie anymore. Almost always minced beef.
I love a shepherdess pie.
