Either it's pretty dang good and that's because whoever made it nailed it.

Or it's super bad.

There's no in between for me.

I love a well made, delicious shepherd's pie.

Why convince her? Just make it yourself and she can have some if she wants.

If you live along the Wasatch Front, pick one or two up at June Pies in Heber. Good quality. Call in advance.

Depends on the green beans. If they're mushy it is garbage.

When I make it I skip the beans, or leave them as a side. Root veg only with

I have only had it with organ meat, so no Kidneys or liver for me.

I recommend using normal ground beef (or ground pork)

It's not shepherds pie if there isn't Lamb in it. Hence the name

Should have shepherd meat in it.

I appreciate the correction. I'll start referring to it as Shepherd's Pie*

We need not conform to the rules of British "cuisine", nor should we.

Gross is absolutely the correct term.

I get it. Including veggies in recipes probably disgusts you.

I've never had it with crust. I don't think I would enjoy that as much.

Revolution

It's ok... I would rather have it without the crust

I used to get pies from this place frequently when I was living in NZ.

Do they use US dollars in NZ, or is there an NZ dollar?

NZ dollar.

Not a huge fan of cheese on it, but love it a lot

That sounds similar to the chicken dumpling recipe that I make. Good stuff.

I love all those things separately, but absolutely hate them put together in Shepherd's Pie.
