Easy Shepherd’s Pie Recipe

I love having the flexibility and freedom to work from home. Being able to work from home and not missing out on any time with my daughter really is the best of both worlds. But sometimes working from home can be a difficult balancing act. When my daughter cries, is hungry, or wants to play I often times need to stop whatever else I may be doing to tend to her wants and needs. This also means that there isn’t a certain time that I get off work each day.

Taking care of my family is my number one priority but finding enough time to create an easy and delicious meal isn’t always fast or easy. When I was asked to come up with a quick and easy recipe featuring Betty Crocker Mashed Roasted Garlic Potatoes, my inclination was to incorporate these potatoes into a dish where I might otherwise labor over making fresh potatoes. I can’t believe how much time I’ve now regained when making my Shepherd’s Pie recipe.
