Shepherd’s Pie

This Shepherd’s Pie recipe is a go-to meal for me. It’s easy to make, I usually have most ingredients handy, and the hubs will eat the leftovers. Score!

The recipe is not really a traditional one though. Most traditional Shepherd’s Pies seem to mix all the meat and veggies together. I prefer to separate them. I also top mine with cheese. Who wouldn’t want a little cheese? Cheese makes everything awesome.

To be honest, I’m not a huge fan of the traditional pies I’ve had in restaurants. There’s just something about the way the meat is flavored that I don’t care for. So if you’re looking for a traditional recipe, this won’t be it. But if you like a good combo of meat, worcestershire sauce, potatoes, peas and cheese and you like easy to put together, this would be for you.

So here it is! I hope you like it! Let me know what you think in the comments!
