BIRD'S EASY CHEESY SHEPHERD'S PIE



Bird's Easy Cheesy Shepherd's Pie image

This is a very flavorful Shepherd's Pie. It puts a new twist on an old favorite by the addition of cream cheese and a dash of ground mace, and it's super easy to make. You can use any leftover veggies such as corn, carrots, string beans, etc. My photo was made using a shallow pan, because my deep dish pan was busy at the time. :)
