Many attempts at Shepherd's Pie have been forced down by my willing gastronomical guinea pigs. Some of these attempts didn't even make it that far. Finally, I cracked the code to a delicious, rustic, and authentic (if you use lamb) Shep... that is nothing short of amazing simplicity.

I made it with lean ground beef. The meat and veggie mixture is so good. The seasonings are perfect. I used Merlot red wine. I didn't use the eggs in the potatoes. My son ate this for his lunch at school and he loved this. He said it's worth 10 stars. Of course, he add ketchup on top. Thanks AlmightyMooX :) Made for the Best of 2011 tag game
