Easy Meal: How to Make a Shepherd’s Pie
There are lots of recipes online for various potato casseroles. The most famous of the potato casseroles may be a Shepherd’s Pie. It’s a great way to use those leftover potatoes.
This makes a great after holiday or a Monday after-Sunday-dinner meal!
Add a salad and maybe a side dish and you have a meal. I especially like this made with leftover gravy but it’s okay with tomatoes too.
