Sweet Potato Shepherd’s Pie

Shepherds pie was a staple in my house growing up. With cream of corn, peas, and mashed white potatoes. I wholeheartedly love both renditions, but thought I’d remake one with a bit more nutritional street cred. Such a cozy (and easy to make) spread for those chilly winter evenings when a salad just really isn’t gonna cut it. I also like this recipe because the name of it is SPx2 (sweet potato, shepherd’s pie). I’m a sucker for alliteration, what can I say.
