To me shepherd's pie is one of those recipes you either love or hate. I LOVE it because I'm a mashed potatoes kinda girl all the way. I do, however, like my pie with peas and carrots, unlike my man child. Anytime I make a casserole like this I always make enough to have leftovers the next night. I'm just lazy like that, BUT you can cut this recipe in half and make a smaller amount.

You might be a redneck if...
you use deer in your shepherd's
pie and as wall decor. |
