Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Step 2

Step 6
Transfer the meat mixture to a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Step 7
Spread the mashed potatoes evenly over the top of the meat mixture.

Bake the Shepherd's Pie in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is heated through.
Step 10
Allow the Shepherd's Pie to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
