    This is The Easiest Recipe for Shepherd's Pie and it is perfect for those nights when you want an old fashioned comfort food dinner but don't feel like spending a lot of time standing over a hot stove preparing dinner. 

    Sometimes you just want comfort food...something warm and filling, loaded with creamy mashed potatoes, carbs and fat...

    The Easiest Recipe for Shepherd's Pie

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

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

    Easy Comfort Food Dinner Recipe

    I like to add a layer of cheddar cheese over the ground beef - in between the meat and the veggies - for a little fun twist sometimes! Cheese just makes everything better, doesn't it?

    That is my daughter Angeline's favorite way for me to make it, but then again, she prefers that I add cheese to everything! I can't complain, because I love making a Cheesy Easy Shepherd's Pie too!
