SHEPHERD’S PIE

Shepherd’s Pie is the perfect way to use leftover roasted meat of any kind and leftover potatoes of any kind.  A St. Stephen’s Day pie is made using leftover turkey or ham.  A Cumberland pie is a version using breadcrumbs on top instead of potatoes.  The English also make a similar dish with fish known as fish pie.
