When I decided to make shepherd's pie, I was in dire need of comfort food. However, I knew it would take forever to make and I didn't feel like making it the traditional way. I found a recipe for it in the monthly Chatelaine magazine we get, and it fit my needs quite well. It has a lot of neat textures, and as you can see, it's very colourful. And since we eat with our eyes first...
