Shepherd's Pie - Allergy Free CookBook

Updated: Sep 19


Hubby had never heard of shepherd's pie. His family had several recipes for it in the recipe box. Hubby also says I make it different than any he's had in a restaurant. Hard to imagine, as it's one main dish with a few minor variants. The only thing I can think restaurants do differently is perhaps put it in a shell like a pot pie. A perfect dish for busy, low energy days. This is another place it in the oven, and let it cook without having to worry about stirring dish. Use gluten free mushroom soup for the thickener.
