This is an awesome recipe to use leftovers. Toss in some leftover vegetables or meat in it so nothing goes to waste. I use leftover mashed potatoes, too, but if not available it’s perfectly okay to use instant mash potatoes. I hate throwing food so I find ways to use them. Well, my kids claimed that I am excellent at reinventing dishes using leftovers. LOL. And this is budget-friendly which is great, and super easy and quick to make. Shepard’s Pie is one of my family’s favorite, it’s so flavorful and is always a hit every time. Now, if you are looking for another hearty, delicious, savory, and a great quick family dinner this is worth a try. I promise this is a winner and it deserves a 5 star. Don’t be shy with cheese, sprinkle generously. Mexican blend shredded cheese goes very well with Shepard’s Pie but cheddar is also delicious. Bubbly melted cheese on top of the mashed potatoes is everything!
