Shepherd’s Pie

Shepherd’s pie is traditionally made with ground lamb but it’s great with any ground meat — turkey and beef being the most popular modern versions. Give my shepherd’s pie recipe a try, and watch everyone flock to the table.

• This shepherd’s pie uses garlic in the mashed potatoes for an extra-flavorful dinner.
• Finish it off with a golden-brown crust of melted Cheddar cheese.
