Tried this last night. WOW. I did use leftover mashed potatoes because didn't have Idahoan instant potato packets on hand. (Uusally have several packets on hand) But they're on the grocery list now! Loved the simplicity of the recipe and the flavor. Real shepherd's pie is so much work but not this version. THANKS!
