Shepherd’s pie boats

Do you need a good comfort food to try out? This one was perfect on a good stormy day for my family. Oh man did these surprise me with how good they turned out! 2 of my 3 boys went wild, one even had seconds. I feel like these have the perfect amount of meat, and veggies. Try them, trust me!
