Despite the aparent dilema over whether this should be called Cottage pie, or Shepherds pie, I was still able to somehow enjoy the recipe even though my head was spinning over this crisis. I really thought it was good. I did add a clove of garlic while the meat was cooking, but I love garlic.

This recipe was exceptional! My fiance begged to take the leftovers for lunch the next day!

My family loved this...definately a keeper...used green beans instead of peas and more vegetables than what your recipe calls for...am using the mashed potato part of the recipe all the time now to make mashed potatoes with dinner.
