It has been a very cool, gloomy June and I've found myself cooking very "out of season" with things like roast beef. Why not have the oven on if it's 60 degrees and raining?? With the leftover roast beef and mashed potatoes, I decided to make a shepherd's pie... of sorts... it was a bit more soupy that I had wanted, but it was hearty, tasty and brought a bit of warmth to a cool, raw evening. It is a cinch to make if you have leftover meat and mashed potatoes, too. I also had leftover gravy, so the filling was simply chopped up meat, gravy, and veggies, then a big layer of mashed potatoes on top. This is one of those old-world dishes that has many incarnations, but for ease and tastiness for this evening, mine worked out just fine.
YUMMMM...homemade sheperd's pie is the best! You need to do some of these masterpieces during a family party sometime!
ReplyDeleteBTW, this has been the worst June since 1903. It was on the news the other night.
