Easy Shepard’s Pie Recipe

This Easy Shepherd’s Pie Recipe is really good, and as the title suggests, it is very easy to make! The beef had a lot of flavor and I think would be fine to use those flavors for lamb or even ground turkey if you wanted a little healthier version.

You can even sprinkle cheddar cheese on the top of the mashed potatoes before putting this dish into the oven, and it will turn out nice and crispy!

I like to add a layer of cheddar cheese over the meat – in between the meat and the veggies – for a little fun twist sometimes!

That is my daughter Angeline’s favorite way for me to make it, but then again, she prefers that I add cheese to everything.
