Can never have too much cheese 🙂 Shepherd’s pie is also one of my family favourites. My husband also cooks this one on the nights I’m working late. Quick and easy!
It tastes good, but isn’t too healthy 🙂 I love hubby proof dinners 🙂
Thankyou for this recipe!! My husband is very fussy so I am always a bit nervous trying new things out on him.. I got a call from him yesterday telling me he had just finished the leftovers and I “had better of saved the recipe”!!! It was a winner with all of us and I think it will become a regular meal..!
I take another ‘cheating’ step by adding sliced carrots and frozen corn or other vegetables to the meat mix to save another step and saucepan.
