Shepherd's Pie


Shepherd's Pie is the sort of meal that brings a smile to everyone's face! That saucy, deeply flavourful filling, the creamy potato topping... what's not to love! I had some mince and potatoes that needed using so this was the perfect easy meal! This meal can be cooked in your Dinerite skillet, then served straight to the dining table and even stored in your fridge! Goodbye countless pans, pots, and containers!
