Your tastes and diet may change over time, but regardless of whether it’s by choice or necessity, you don’t want to give up the meals you love the most. Meat and potatoes is something that many people grew up eating, and dishes like Shepherd’s Pie bring us back to our childhood. Maybe you want to make it easier on yourself though, and take some of the complication out of the recipe. Try simply roasting the potatoes or loading the filling on top of fries or baked potatoes. Or perhaps you want to squeeze in more veggies, or make a low-carb Shepard’s Pie, so butternut squash, cauliflower and sweet potatoes to the rescue. You may have given up meat, but lentils, tempeh and even more veggies can still turn this hearty dish into a vegan Shepard’s pie. Following a gluten-free or paleo diet? Well there aren’t many changes needed to make that work. Or, maybe you’re just tired of the same old, same old. Then why not infuse new flavors like Tex Mex, Buffalo sauce, or even an old-fashioned Thanksgiving version of Shepard’s Pie into your dinner rotation? You’ll find all of these options and more, with these creative and comforting twists on classic Shepherd’s Pie. Check them all out by clicking “Launch Gallery” above. PIN THIS COLLECTION HERE
