Notes
You can cut the amount of butter or use margarine instead.
Make sure you're using a heat-proof dish for all the cooking steps.
You can use a potato masher to mash the softened potatoes.
Be sure to let the pie cool down a bit before enjoying it as well. It will firm up more as it cools, too.
You can add veggies like peas, tomatoes, bell peppers, mushrooms, etc.
You can make the Shepherd's Pie cheesy by mixing shredded cheddar in the mashed potato mixture.
