My husband loves Shepherd's pie too – so this is going on my list! Thanks so much 🙂
You had a perfect golden crust on the topping. I'll have to make this casserole for my family, perfect comfort food. What brand of Italian mixed cheese did you use, Sargento?
That shepherd's pie was really, really great. I used all white turkey and it was delicious.
Who doesn’t love a good Shepard’s pie? This one is absolutely amazing and the flavor profile is wonderful!
