Shepherd’s or Cottage Pie
40 – 60 minutes, Serves 6 to 8
Here is a great recipe for your mashed potatoes. The difference is that shepherd’s pie is made with ground lamb and cottage pie is made with ground beef. I wonder how a mixture of the two meats would taste. If you try that combination, please let me know. In any case, the creamy mashed potatoes will make a perfect topper.
