Shepherd's Pie

This is a comfort dish. Can be made ahead & place in the frig. I make this, if I require any minor surgery as this dish is easy on the stomach. This is low salt as my diet requires. It is best when Beef broth is replaced with a can of consume beef broth undiluted. To much salt for me.
