Shepherds Pie

Recently I made this delicious Shepherds Pie and I thought I would share some pictures as well as a link to the recipe that I used.  Enjoy :)


Here is the link to the blog with the recipe for this delicious Shepherds Pie: Living on Pulse - Shepherds Pie


Extras:
To make the hearts on top, cut hearts out of a sheet of paper and lay it on top of the mashed potato and sprinkle paprika over top.  Remove the paper and then put the shepherd's pie into the oven following the directions on the above website.

We did not use Dill Weed in the recipe as we did not have any, but it was delicious. :)
