Comfort Food: Shepherd's Pie

Sometimes I need to throw all caution to the wind and make something for dinner that is purely a comfort food. This recipe is not going to win any awards for being "low in points, calories, fat or carbs". Its just yummy and easy to love. Its also one of my son's favorite meals. This is the son in particular that has just come home from his two year mission. I can't help but still make his favorites (especially when they're mine, too!)

So.... the other night I made shepherd's pie. This is a basic, no-frills recipe, and there is a really great chance that you have all the ingredients already in your pantry.
