Shepherds pie from the cast iron.

For your enjoyment, can be served directly from the cast iron as well. These are 8" pans. Next time I might roll the crust out a bit thinner and make a lattice on top.

Traditionally shepherds pie is made using lamb (thus the name). Cottage pie is made with beef, though neither of these dishes have pastry. They are usually topped with mashed potato.
1When I make this for my wife and I, sometimes we use stuffing for the top instead of mashed potatoes. Easier to make, and adds some different flavors. We usually do a ground beef version (Cottage Pie).

It looks tasty but just as an fyi, shepherds pie doesn’t have pastry in it.
