Deluxe Shepherds Pie Recipe

1/15/17

Deluxe Shepherds Pie RecipeHomemade Shepherd’s pie, made with ground beef, chicken, frozen mixed vegetables, and creamy potatoes.

A little over a month ago I asked my subscribers on YouTube, which recipes they wanted. A lot of people said shepherds pie. Although, I had previously uploaded a shepherds pie recipe on my blog, I think that a lot of my readers, and YouTube subbies wanted more of a “traditional” shepherds pie. You know the kind with ground beef, mixed vegetables, tomato sauce, and etc.

I personally am getting pretty tired of the same old traditional recipes these days, so I spiced things up. Instead of using just ground beef, I decided to use chicken as well.

Also, I jazz up the potatoes a bit by whipping them with a combination of cream cheese, and sharp cheddar cheese. The potatoes always come out super creamy, and flavorful!

Check out this video tutorial for my fabulous shepherds pie recipe!

    In the ingredients you’ll need……you have tomato sauce but when making the dish you tomato paste. Does that matter which to use?
