Shepherd's Pie

This was so good. 

So good, that hubs and I finished two dish-fuls before I even took a photo.

Leaving me with this gem of a photo:

Doesn't that look fabulous!

I realize that I probably could have styled this a little better, but let's face it, this really illustrates how we couldn't even put the forks down long enough to take a photo.

Two days later this is all that's left.

It tasted like super tasty meatloaf with potatoes and vegetables. Plus we had a little ketchup on the side for dippin' and this really felt like it could have come out of a good 'ole home cookin' cookbook. The smoked paprika on top was just for extra credit.
