I don’t know about you but I have to change things up every now and then. Shepard’s pie is one of them. I’ve made it standard with mashed potatoes and cream corn, as was always done in my family. I was so bored of having it that way that I used to douse it with ketchup just to change the taste. Well now I’m older and wiser, ok at least older, so I decided to change things up a little. Here is my version of Cajun Shepard’s Pie.

So many things can be done to personalize this. You can sub the veggie. A friend did his with Kale. I’ve done it with Edamame beans. I try to make sure that the veggie is high in fibre. There are different types of cajun spices so you make this spicier if you wish. You can add a little cayenne pepper to this. You can make this with any ground meat, chicken, pork, even go vegetarian and go with Beyond meat (which is just as good). Have fun everyone and make it your own.
