I thought I reviewed this recipe early this week but I dont see it up. So, Ill do it again! This is the same recipe I use to make our quick and easy shepherds pie. I sometimes use a can of Cream of Mushroom for the gravy and make the mashed potatoes by hand... Thanks for posting this!

Not enough salt and pepper. Too much garlic. But it was O.K. Thanks for posting!
