SAUSAGE FLORENTINE SHEPHERD'S PIE
In this Italian take on traditional shepherd's pie, sausage takes the place of ground beef (or lamb), and spinach replaces the green veggies. Zesty tomatoes, Italian cheese blend and garlicky mashed potatoes make this dish incredibly long on flavor, even though the ingredient list is short. -Leah Lyon, Ada, Oklahoma

SWEET POTATO SHEPHERD'S PIE
As a child, shepherd's pie was one of my favorites. But now, having cut white potatoes out of our diet, I experimented with sweet potatoes in this dish for two. The result is different, but just as yummy! -Tanya Marcketti, Golden, Colorado

- Don't be afraid to experiment with different seasonings. The recipe calls for a simple combination of salt, pepper, and garlic powder, but you can add other spices to taste. Some good options include paprika, cumin, chili powder, and oregano.
- Make sure the filling is cooked through before topping it with the mashed potatoes. You can do this by simmering it on the stovetop or baking it in the oven.
- Use a light touch when mashing the potatoes. You don't want them to be too smooth, or they will be gluey. Lumpy mashed potatoes are perfectly fine.
