Cheddar Shepard's Pie

St. Patty's Day is right around the corner. We are headed to Hilton Head to visit my grandparent's this weekend. My Grandpa, Mom, and I are going to run in a Shamrock 5K on Saturday- so I am feeling in the spirit! Ivan doesn't like veggies AT ALL so I couldn't make a corned beef and cabbage dish... so my second thought ( which I have never made or eaten) was Shepard's Pie! Here is my creation: I was surprised how much we both enjoyed this dish and are excited for a. leftovers and b. to make and eat it again! :)
