This is a yummy version of shepherd's pie! As we discussed, I used ground chicken and ground pork which for us was perfect. Made as directed with two changes, I added some worchestershire sauce for that traditional flavour and added chopped kale instead of celery. Made in two 8" baking pans , one of which I shared with a friend. Defintely a make again recipe! Thank you for sharing Dienia! Made for Billboard Recipe Tag.

I've never had nutmeg in a shepherd's pie, and it was delightful! Absolutely loved this! And it is fairly quick to make.....the cooking time to me was watching tv time, so I don't count that!
