I need something other than sweets to nourish me: Shepherd's Pie

 I didn't take photos but this is the recipe I used:  Shepherd's Pie 

I made it using ground beef but I think I'll try ground lamb next time.  The recipe calls for frozen peas and carrots which, for some reason, I didn't find at the grocery the day I shopped.  I used a bag of mixed vegetable instead (peas, carrots, green beans, corn) along with the corn called for in the recipe.   I like the addition of the green beans.  I can always use more vegetables.

The mashed potatoes which go on the top are mashed with parmesan cheese.   Very tasty.

This is a good dish to add to the main dish rotation.  I need to expand my depth of protein dishes . . .although maybe not so much cheese which I love.

UPDATE:  I made this again using lamb.   I think it is tastier.   I also added more of the frozen vegetable mix because I needed to use up those partial bags.   I did add some fresh orange and yellow peppers which added to the flavor.  Another thing I did was add some chipotle pepper to the mashed potatoes along with a lot of parmesan cheese.

This time I made sure to get photos.
