shepherd's pie with sweet potatoes

Shepherd’s pie is such a hearty and satisfying meal. It’s a comfort food that both adults and kids love–at least in our house. If we don’t finish it all at dinner, it’s great as leftovers too. 

With this recipe, I’m bringing you a twist on shepherd’s pie–top it with sweet potatoes! The sweet potatoes are so good in this dish, and they’re so good for you! 

This one skillet dish is really a complete meal, but you can stretch it further if needed with a salad and/or good piece of bread on the side. 



Let me know how you like this skillet shepherd’s pie with sweet potatoes!
