Spicy Shepard’s Pie

Spicy Shepard’s Pie

 

I’ve wanted to make this for years! I just love having comfort food in the cold days and since I see no sun in sight this was the weekend for experimenting.  I think I should change the name of my site to “From Stove to Plate”. Seriously, most of the time I get these brainstorms before going to bed. Then the next day I think of flavors, herbs, and combinations. By evening I’m ready to roll.

So, folks, this is my version of Sheppard’s Pie with a twist! It came together, “From Stove to Plate” and my taste tester was so impressed he had three servings (ok, like I have a whole group of testers, not! But Lutz is not shy to critique…trust me). Go for! It’s so dang simple and quick. You can choose your own spices and add your signature to this yummy dish. Make it the day before and place in the fridge and heat it up after soccer or ballet lessons. You can make it, freeze it and then set in the fridge in the morning and place in the oven in the evening to brown up the taters and serve it piping hot! Like I said…just do it!
