Shepherds Pie

Leftover potatoes on purpose??

Yes! Don’t we all do that? There’s always a use for leftover mashed, buttery potatoes!

Shepherds pie is so easy to make, and this recipe is very flavourful. If I were to do this in a casserole dish, I’d have potatoes lining the bottom of the dish. With Cast Iron (12″ pan was used here) it’s not necessary, which makes it all the easier. It’s practically a one dish meal if you have your spuds done already. Easy cleanup, gotta love that!

Here’s my tip of the day… this is ONLY my experience, others somehow have success with this…

****Don’t reheat mashed potatoes in cast iron****

I’ve never had success, (though I’m sure some do) and have always spent WAY too long trying to clean them out of my pan! Cast iron should wipe clean with little or no effort once it’s seasoned. Mashed potatoes in CI?? Not so much!
