I've never been entirely satisfied with the shepherd's pie I usually make. It seems to lack flavor and no matter how much salt and pepper I add it needs more.
This recipe had some small adjustments from my regular recipe. It used canned corn in place of frozen - one can was creamed corn. It also used a gravy packet in the meat.
I didn't mention that I had done anything different until my husband asked. He wasn't sure if he liked the changes while my middle son and I were very impressed by the much more flavorful pie. I loved the gravy and the canned corn was so much better than frozen.
Definitely my go to recipe from now on.

The kids helped out cooking this recipe! They liked it so much that they took leftovers in their thermos for lunch the next day!
