I know what you’re thinking. Really, I do. Hamburger pie?!
Are you crazy?! Well, that’s besides the point. You really have to try this to understand.
My mom made this many a night for dinner in our house and it remains a comfort food for me and I suspect most of my 4 siblings as well. It’s also something she made to take dinner to someone in need. I don’t know of anyone who’s ever tried it and not loved it, but we’re not cookin’ for celebrity chefs round these parts either ; ) So try something different, you just might be surprised. And another bonus, you probably have everything to make it on hand!
Oh, and my kitchen re-do is entering the 3rd week, but I have hope! Wish us luck!

We have this but we make it like your shepherd's pie. No Oregano or sugar, use mashed potatoes to top. SO yummy! I think I'll have to try it this way just to mix it up a little.
