    That sounds delicious! I love shepherds pies; there such great sources of veggies. I wonder if it’d work with my beloved sweet potato on top.

    Yum. I’m going to make this tonight – sounds like a good hearty dinner to eat while we’re stuck at home in a blizzard.

    Girl – that looks awesome! Have you ever had the shepherd’s pie at Dublin Bay in Ames? Best.I.Ever.Had. Your’s looks very similar so I’m going to have to try. I’d make a red wine run tonight to get the process started, but ya know, it’s BLIZZARDING.

    Looks like a great recipe minus the peas which have no place in shepherd’s pie imo. Garlic-stud the roast and add freshly grated parmesan to the mashed potatoes, then top with a little more and maybe even some quality grated cheddar. If you want, just throwin’ that out there.

    I posted once before, but now I’ve tried this, except added freshly-grated parmesan to the potatoes and topped with additional parmesan plus lots of quality freshly-grated cheddar. It was outstanding, a bit labor intensive, but it ended up with delicious flavor and great texture with the shredded beef, mashed potatoes, and cheese topping (no peas). Awesome recipe IGE.
