Shepherd’s Pie Recipe

by

I love this Shepherd’s Pie Recipe when I need a quick and hearty meal. It’s got everything you need in one dish: meat, green beans, mashed potatoes and cheese!

Shepherd's Pie Recipe

I can’t even tell you how many nights I say, “Oh crap. It’s 5 pm and I haven’t started dinner!” We eat around 6 pm at our house so our kids can start bedtime stuff at 7. Since they get up super early to catch the bus into town (an hour bus ride for my older two kids) they go to bed at 8 pm. When those days happen (the oh crap days), often I will make this Shepherd’s Pie recipe. It’s so simple, but so good. I have a trick that I like to use: instant potatoes for the topping. Of course I love regular mashed potatoes and I do that when I have more time, but I tried instant potatoes once to see what would happen and my family didn’t even notice until I told them. They still loved this dish. I’ve been making it forever.
