A variation on shepherd's pie, this hearty dish brings together saucy beef and mashed potatoes, parsnips and other vegetables. It's always the star of our March 17 meal. —Lorraine Caland, Thunder Bay, Ontario

The whole family loved this (that includes my 3 kids who are all under 5 and my picky hubby). Next time I'm doubling the recipe-- everyone wanted seconds and we ran out!

Made it just like the recipe and we both liked it very much. We ate it as a one-dish meal and we ate all the potatoes and there is only 1 serving of the meat mixture left and we are not really big eaters so I would increase the ingredients to serve 4.
