Mum's Shepherds Pie Stew
This recipe always makes me feel "home" and that Mum is close by. I always feel her standing over my shoulder when I make it. My daughter loves it too.
It was great when the kids were little - I would "cook the hell out of it" so all the veggies disappeared into sauce and I knew that they were getting a bowl of goodness and love.

I have mentioned certain vegetables, but I just use WHATEVER is in my fridge at the time. You can be the judge.Â

All ready for the 25 minute cook. This is where you set your oven and cook those potatoes
Place in your baking dish ready for the potatoes and cheese
Dollop on the potatoes and spread with a fork as best as you can, then sprinkle with cheese.
All ready after 25 mins. I cooked mine a little less as it was cooked early and ready for reheating in the oven later.
