Test Kitchen tips

Cottage pie or shepherd's pie? Traditionally, shepherd's pie is made with lamb, while cottage pie is the same dish but with beef.

Black beans taste great in this dish if you're not a fan of kidney beans.

For a lighter take, substitute ground chicken or turkey for the beef.

Add chopped jalapenos or a splash of your favorite hot sauce for a spicy touch.
