Simple Shepherd's Pie

I've made this for years and my friends and family love it. It's such a hearty and easy meal to make. Leftovers are like a hug after a hard day of work. YUM! You need to flavor the meat, so you can use a taco seasoning packet, onion soup mix, or your own concoction). Here's an example... http://www.recipezaar.com/38756
