Shepherd’s Pie
Shepherd’s Pie is a classic, a recipe that it seems everyone had growing up. Most recipes I’ve found don’t have many spices, broth, or anything to help add some flavor, but this one does! If you’re like K you can top yours with capers (weird, I know, but he loves it). Next time we make it I’ll be adding some chili powder, red pepper flakes, and cloves to the meat mixture, just for even more flavor. If it turns out I’ll update this post – we don’t make this very often though, so it’ll be a bit.
