Here's the recipe as requested:
One must remember that Shepard's Pie is very unique in that it is
prepared different ways in different locations. I guess the common
element is that it is an easy, economical and delicious meal.
1 1/2 lb ground beef
6 med potatoes
1 can kernel corn
salt & pepper (add to taste)
Procedure:
Fry ground beef (I fry a little onion with the beef), drain fat. Peel,
boil and mash the potatoes. In a loaf pan, layer first beef then corn
then the mashed potatoes. Put butter pats over the mashed potatoes,
cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes at 350.
As a variation, I have heard others substitute the corn for green beans
or carrots. Every kid has to mix it all together and some even add
ketchup - my goodness what a messy meal!!!!
(p.s. what other variations are there?)

My favourite shepherds pie recipe (although my granny insists on refering to it as cottage pie) consists of a seasoned mince mixture with some chopped onions and a dash of worcestershire sauce and mashed potatoes on top. You cook the mince mixture until the meat browns and a thin gray/juice forms (spoon off excess fat), place in a pie dish and cover with at least 1/2 inch of mashed spud. Cook in medium/hot oven until tips of mahed pots start to brown. My family almost always livens the dish up by adding a few coarsly chopped mushrooms. Serve with peas -- delish. -- Marcus Hand (mtunh!mgh)

Two corrections/explanations: 1. It should have read "thin gravy/juice" (not thin GRAY/juice) 2. Mince is english for ground beef Sorry 'bout that... -- Marcus Hand (mtunh!mgh)
