Shepherd's Pie

Yes, it's the classic Shepherd's Pie. Next to Macaroni and Cheese, perhapsthe greatest comfort food there is. It's also a dish you'd have to be more than half-drunk to screw up, so it's good for first dates, visiting parents and nervous cooks. A fine dish with your average beer and some bread to mop up the plate.
