Recipe: Yummy Shepherds pie

Shepherds pie. This isn't the traditional Shepherd's Pie with lamb, but a quick and easy version my family loves. Watch how to make this recipe. Place in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water.

Most recipes for any Shepherd's Pie say use beef or lamb. That said, I made this version because it was fast and easy and I didn't have time for a more complicated recipe. Add the ground beef (or ground lamb) to the skillet and break it apart with a wooden spoon. You can cook Shepherds pie using 19 ingredients and 12 steps. Here is how you cook it.
