Shepherds Pie Recipe
|
| It is not often that a truly superb Shepherds Pie Recipe comes along that is not only easy to pull together, but has your family or dinner guests begging for the recipe. There are more calories in this meal than we normally take in on a daily basis, but once in a while it is good to splurge. As an option, you my substitute the heavy cream for half and half, I prefer the shepherds pie recipe as is. I will go for a walk after dinner to work off teh extra calories (smile). |
There are several steps to this recipe, so read through the entire simple ground beef recipe first and see where you can be making one portion while the other is simmering, etc.Adding both types of potatoes to the "boxti" (crepes that hold the filling) lend a wonderful taste to your finished shepherds pie recipe.
