How to Make Shepherd’s Pie

I really didn’t know it was possible to whip up a shepherd’s pie in less than half an hour until I set my mind to it. I have had so much fun working on these recipes, partly because they’re delicious, but also because they’ve simplified my life so dramatically by cutting my time not only in half, but often by two-thirds or more. I actually prefer this shepherd’s pie to the slow-cooked one I used to make. The big trick? Microwaving potatoes cuts your mashed potato making time in half. There are a few other tricks that you’ll need to read on to gather. Another great benefit of this casserole is that it’s a lot lower in fat than traditional shepherd’s pie, but really not missing out on any of the rich flavor.
