This Shepherds Pie is a mash of the two (no pun intended, hello mashed potatoes!).
This is a great dish for using leftovers. Mostly on the mashed potato end. You may want to bookmark this one for Thanksgiving, along with Shepherds Pie of the South. One uses up the leftover turkey or chicken, the other uses up the mashed potatoes. No, its not too early to start planning what youre going to do with your Thanksgiving leftovers. Its never too early to menu plan.
