Dinner's Ready! Our Shepherd's Pie For St. Patrick's Day

There are many recipes for Cottage Pie or Shepherd's Pie. Since I have small boys who don't like cooked peas or carrots in their dinner, I finally found a recipe they loved without the cooked veggies...{But who am I kidding? I also am not one to like the peas or carrots in Shepherd's Pie either!} This recipe pleased the entire family...

So~

This is what we'll be eating on St. Patrick's Day:

{Without the carrots and peas~}
