Shepherd's Pie

The mushrooms in this Shepherd's Pie recipe add a depth of flavour to this classic beef dish. If your children are squeamish about mushrooms you can finely chop them and they’ll never know they’re there. You can sneak in some carrots too, if you finely grate them first.

Spaghetti and Beef Pie

Do the chopping and cook the beef and pasta in advance. That way the kids can take over the kitchen, making this recipe for Spaghetti & Beef Pie themselves by simply assembling and heating in the microwave. This recipe's a handy way to use up any leftover spaghetti.

All-New Shepherd's Pie
