Sweet Potato Shepherd’s Pie

The most comforting Sweet Potato Shepherd’s Pie you’ve ever had!

This savoury warm and hearty comfort food is exactly what I crave after a long day at work. The best news is that it is actually really easy to make. This truly is a dish that you will make over and over again for your family! Most of the ingredients I bet you already have. But good news is that you can always make adjustments depending on what you have in your fridge. I like mixing it up with ground beef or Turkey,(depending if I want a leaner pie) carrots, onions, mushrooms, and tomato paste.

You can always make this dish ahead of time and store in your freezer. Having a pre-made meal ready for a quick and cozy evening at home.
