Who likes Sheperd's Pie???

I love it!!! However, I like it a lot better with spicey ground sausage instead of beef. The flavor is intense!

I love Shepherds'/cottage pie too. In England we make it with the remains of the sunday roast ( either lamb or beef) minced or diced and mixed with left over vegetables, usually peas and carrots, and lots of meaty gravy(also left from the roast)and a chopped onion. We top it with creamy mashed potatoes made with an egg and butter and put it in the oven for an hour or so to brown. Until I came to North America I had never seen it with corn before and somehow it doesn't taste right to my family that way.

It was originally a quick and easy meal for housewives to prepare so they had time to tackle the family laundry on Monday morning ( traditionally washing day in England!)

It is real "comfort food" and we all love it!
