My fave trial that i done and do I call Chilli con shepherd

Shepherds pie is minced beef and onions etc then baked in oven with mashed potato on top to brown it and give it a crust.

Well my chilli con shepherd is just that, but instead of using plain old minced beef. I used home made chilli con carne. So can make it nice and hot and all the usuals like Kidney beens and onion and crushed chillis etc. But also adding herbs into the mashed potato while preparing that before browning that on the chilli


mmmmmmmmmmmmm

Experimenting like that often lets you find very nice variations aswell as flops. But you dont know unless you try :o)

Linda when I make my meatloaf my family likes this variation, I make a trench in the meatloaf and add a large can of mushrooms stems and pices and close the trench and bake as normal. This makes a nice surprise in each slice. It also adds great flavor.
