  1. This is the best Shepherd’s Pie and I love that I can make it and freeze it. Usually I make a double batch using 2lbs of 70/30 ground venison (70% deer 30% beef) and double the other ingredients, then we eat one and freeze one for another time when we don’t feel like cooking.

  2. This is a STAPLE recipe of a shepards pie! No modification needed but certainoy can alter for different soup packets! I make this at least once a month for lunch! Thanks for the great recipe!
