Post Christmas Shepherd's Pie

Submitted by MarieRynr

"I had all these vegetables and meat hanging around after Christmas and was trying to come up with a delicious way to use them up and not make it seem like we were eating leftovers. I think I came up with a very delicious way of doing it! Technically I guess you can’t really call this a shepherd’s pie as there hasn’t been a shepherd of a sheep within fifty yards of it, but my oh my, it’s sure some good!"
