Your Beef Shepard's Pie is a favorite, "goto" meal. Probably 4-5 times a month, I reach into the freezer and pull out this fantastic meal. Bake at 375 degrees for 55 minutes and I am good to go. My only complaint is, I wish you made it in larger proportions. It's always finished before I want to stop eating it, but 2 would be too much. As a 68 YO single guy, it is a fantastically delicious meal....every time.
