There are different variations of this recipe out there. The difference between a cottage pie and a shepard's pie, is the meat. Shepard's pie uses lamb. Also, some recipes call for sliced potatoes in place of the mashed. This is how our family prepares it. Enjoy! *Borrowed photo until I get my own posted :)
