Egyptian Shepherd's Pie image

Every week I cook a dish from a different country just to keep things interesting. I came across this recipe in my search for an Egyptian meal that wasn't too exotic for our tastes but would still bring something new and tasty to the table. Well, it was a hit with my family and I figured I'd put it out there in an easier to access forum for anyone else looking to try something a little different. If you use 2lbs of fresh sweet potato you can cut down on some of the extra sweetness that comes from using canned sweet potatoes. I've done it both ways and prefer the fresh myself. You can make whatever adjustments that suit you. I hope you enjoy it as much as my family does.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it was much better. I would recommend adding some extra spices to taste.

I love the flavor of this dish, but it was a bit too spicy for me. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the dish turned out great. The only thing I would change next time is to use a different type of cheese. I used cheddar cheese and it was a bit too strong for my taste.
