Shepherd's Pie - Yum

[cbayer]

My husband is English and sometimes craves food he grew up with. Now, in all honesty, I don't find that much to like about English food, but Shepherd's Pie can be made really delicious.

I made it yesterday and it came out great. I used ground beef, but put some crispy bacon in as well. I added onions, celery, carrots, garlic, peas and spiced it with paprika and thyme.

To the mashed potatoes, I added shredded monterey jack, plain yogurt and blue cheese. The blue cheese is what, IMO, made this really, really good.

It came out of the oven bubbling hot with a nice browned top and was delicious.

what's your favorite way to make this classic?

(I am going to try Bubble and Squeak next week).
