A MAINE DISH SHEPARD'S PIE

Dinner is ready!  Come and get it..........This is Maine's comfort food at its best.  Shepard's pie is easy to make and everyone will enjoy this meal. For me it's the meal you don't want to end, or for the bowl to be empty. Serve this meal in a soup bowl and eat with a soup spoon. Sit on the couch and watch TV.

 Growing up mother goose (my mother) would make Shepard's pie. She was a wonderful cook,  I don't have many of her recipes, most of her cooking and baking was in her head. 

 I had to go on a search, I searched high and low, wrote down a few ingredients from one blog and something else from another and what I came up with is this.  I can't give credit because I was bad and didn't keep track of where it all came from.

I made it a few times to get it to what we both agreed on. Their are so many different recipes for Shepard's pie. Some add green beans, or carrots some start with lamb but this is what my mother made for us growing up.  I think I am hungry.

 Enjoy Andi

Drain, add some butter, sour cream (good size scoop) handful of shredded cheddar cheese, and some warm milk and beat till no lumps. Just add a little at a time cause you can always add more.
