I can’t believe it took me all of my 27 years to try shepherds pie! It’s like a combination tater tot hot dish and KFC’s famous bowl, two of my favorite things. It’s got all of the best ingredients to make it a delicious comfort food. Ground hamburger, veggies, mashed potatoes, and most importantly, cheese. Do not skip out on the cheese! It’s what takes this shepherds pie above and beyond. It is a dish that will be sure to warm you up, especially for the way this winter has been in Minnesota! Double the recipe to feed a crowd or cut the recipe in half if you’re a household of only one or two.
