Shepherd's Pie

This made an incredible shepherd’s pie that was the first dish to completely disappear at a Pot Luck. The flavor of the gravy and vegetables was intense, and the colors of the carrots, peas, beef, etc were picture perfect. I used a package of instant mashed potatoes (that made 5 cups of potatoes) as I was in a great hurry and it was the perfect amount to cover the top of a round 6 quart Crockpot. The only request my kids had was to throw shredded cheddar cheese on the top at the end.
