Receta Shepherd's Pie
This year is off to a hectic start for our family. If you've been following me on Instagram, you may know that I've recently moved. We've relocated at least eight times in the last ten years, but this has been the most challenging move yet. Managing two kids while unpacking boxes is quite the feat. So it's no surprise that I've gotten little done around the house, and even less accomplished in the kitchen. I've been making quick one pot dishes and lots of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
Whenever I'm short on time, one of the quicker meals I go to is this Shepherd's pie. I love making this dish because I don't have to prep too much. The ground meat can be cooked right away while the mashed potato is pulled together in a cinch. This dish is so comforting, it gives you the warm and fuzzies after a long stressful day. The creamy mashed potatoes alongside juicy ground meat will have you reaching for seconds. There are so many variations you can make to this dish. Substituting mashed sweet potato for the top layer or even combining meats and vegetables can make for a nice change.
I used ground turkey in this version, but feel free to use any ground meat you like. Add any frozen mixed vegetables you have on hand.
