Sweet potoates mash a but easier then white. If you are using white and don’t want lumps you may have to beat them.

hey roni, I used white potatoes and left the skins on! Also did you use anything to mix up the potatoes or were the sweet potato ones smooth enough?

I use canned pumpkin puree in mine. (I add it in to sloppy joes and chili too, you can’t tell it’s there). It would go well with the sweet potatoe topping. I add it to the meat mixture, it helps thicken things up and it’s one more veggie that the hubby and kids don’t know about. ; )

LOL…i just watched the edited version…it was too bland for me. I missed all the chit chat and stuff. And you cut out the part where Ryan placed the empty sweet potato bowl on his head. That cracked me up in the full length version.

I love sheppard pie. It is one of the things that my husband and I have at least once a month. I use regular white potatoes on top though. I have cut back our recipe and found single serving baking dishes so that I make just enough for two people. I also add veggies to mine but I use a hand chopper to cut them up so small that they are hard to see. My husband does not do onions or mushrooms. So I chop them REALLY small so they just kind of melt into the dish. I also add carrots but they are not cut as small. I add a layer of cheese to our sheppard's pie too. I don't use as much cheese as I would like since I am making healthier choices these days. Here is the recipe I use.

If I have time, I’m going to another one. But it won’t be the same with my little assistant!

Great edit job! This is interesting for me as it’s very different to the traditional Shepherd’s Pie I’m used to! If you want a nice crust on the potato without broiling, you can try scoring the top with a fork.

Are you going to try a different recipe for your next submission? And hire a new assistant? LOL
