We loved this shepard's pie! Wonderful flavour! I had no celery in so I added some frozen peas and a few lima beans, other than that followed the recipe exactly except for the butter on top of the potatoes, instead I sprinkled shreaded parmesan and chopped parsley on top. Will definately be making this again, thanks for posting.
