EASY SHEPHERD'S PIE

Shepherd's Pie is originally an English dish, traditionally made with lamb or mutton. Nigerians typically make Shepherd's Pie with beef, I think mostly because we are much more of a beef-eating culture than a lamb-eating one. The English (and Australians and New Zealanders) call the beef dish a "cottage pie". Naming conventions aside, our Nigerian version of Shepherd's Pie is essentially a casserole, lined with cooked meat and vegetables, topped with mashed potatoes, and baked.Here is a basic recipe for a simple ground beef Shepherd's Pie. I dressed it up a bit with some veggies and Worcestershire sauce.
