Thanks for sharing this recipe, I love making Sheppard’s pie some tips I swap the white potatoes for sweet potatoes and it taste delicious
It easy to make and since it takes up less time.
One easy meal that I like to include in my weekly meal planning.
I add thinly sliced leeks to the mashed potatoes and cheese on top and it’s out of this world. I also add Worcestershire sauce to the meat.
thx for the sweet potato idea
What do you mean by 2 carrots diced and 1 can mixed vegetables or peas? If I used 1 can of mixed vegetables do I need also the 2 carrots diced ?
You can do 2 carrots alone, or carrot and peas or a can of veggies and the carrots. Just adjust the kind and amount of veggies you would like. I myself don’t even use the carrots or peas or veggies. This is an easy recipe to adapt to your own tastes.
This is the first time I have ever made a Breakfast Skillet. Making for myself I downsized everything and I will be eating it twice today. I found it to be quite tasty, but I used to much bacon grease. I tipped the pan to drain. Thank you I will be doing this again!!
