My BF is from New Zealand and is constantly whining about Shepherds’ Pie. Since this is such an easy recipe, I’m going to surprise her tomorrow with one to pop into the oven, will split this into two small pie plates. Thanks for the recipe and idea.
What a great thing to do!!! I would love to hear what she thinks of the recipe. I hope you both enjoy it!
