Shepherd's Pie

The idea to use some leftover beef stew to make Shepherd's Pie = Brilliant! The stew was even better the next day because it had more time for the flavors to dance together. The addition of mashed potatoes on top - um, yes please! So, for the mashed potatoes I boiled some peeled parsnips with the potatoes. They add an extra kick to your regular run of the mill mashed taters. I also added 4 oz softened cream cheese, 1 head roasted garlic, half & half, Salt & Pepper. They were the perfect topper to this dish.

Shepherd's Pie
ingredients
• Leftover Beef Stew
• Mashed potatoes
• Minced fresh parsley

directions
1. Preheat the oven to 375ยบ.

2. Place the leftover stew in 2 oven proof single serving bowls. Cover each with some mashed potatoes. Place bowls on a baking sheet. Bake until the potatoes are golden brown and have a few crispy bits going on all over the top, about 30 minutes. Remove, let cool for at least 5 minutes before diving in.

Serve with some crusty bread or crescent rolls.

Enjoy!
