Shepherd’s pie, also known as Cottage pie, is a meat pie with a crust of mashed potatoes. It is said that the term ‘Shepherd’s Pie’ should be used only if the meat is mutton or lamb (Courtesy: Wikipedia). Most countries have their own versions of this pie. It is a comforting and delicious one-dish-meal.
