"A Cumberland Pie is sort of like a shepherd's pie or a cottage pie, which means it's made with mashed potatoes, gravy, and lots of tasty veggies. The difference is, you can use whichever meat you prefer (we used ground beef in ours!) and it's topped with a sprinkle of our homemade, cheesy bread crumb mixture. This dinner pie is hearty and delicious!..."
