Daday’s Kitchen: Shepherd’s Pie

The first time Jonjie cooked Shepherd’s Pie, I was surprised because we have no oven. I was surprised even more when I tasted it…it was delicious!!!

It was a full meal on its own. But, it is also good with rice or as a side dish to a main course such as Baby Back Ribs or Salisbury Steak or any type of Steak.
