Shepherd's Pie

Shepherd's Pie is the go to comfort food at my house. It is quick, easy, and best of all can be made ahead and placed in the freezer if needed. I use the recipe from Mark's Daily Apple as my base, then I make a few modifications. If adding carrots I prefer to use fresh carrots, for some reason I am not a fan of frozen carrots, but if you like the convenience go with the frozen carrot and pea mixture. In addition, I add baby bella mushrooms and asparagus. To save time with the cauliflower mash on top, I use frozen cauliflower and save myself the cleaning and chopping. This is a great simple recipe and the best part is you can double it and make one to bake right away and another to put in the freezer for later use.
