Use up those potatoes and mushrooms before they spoil

into mushroom sheperd's pie. :9 It's now one of my staples because potatoes are cheap and portabella mushrooms often go on sale right before their expiration date.

It ain't fast, but it's easy--relatively.

2. Tell us how you make that Shepherd's Pie.

I don't make it often, but when I do, it's like vegetable soup without the soup stock. In other words, it's usually "clean out the refrigerator" time.

4. I am very lazy.

Sometimes I buy the mashed potatoes, they have them next to the eggs at my grocery store, and just make the filling from scratch.
