Momosita's Shepherd's Pie

lolablitz's Note:

I'm dying to make this again next week! This is adapted from a recipe on allrecipes.com. It's my favorite recipe because it has a lot of veggies and a unique twist with the carrot layer below the potatoes. If you are throwing calorie counts to the wind, make this truly decadent and bake it in a butter pie crust (Trader Joe's is phenomenal!).

My DH at more than his fair share. I believe he's always afraid that he may die on an empty stomach. Made for Spring PAC 2012.
