When I was growing up my mom would make this with leftovers. She would make extra potatoes, vegetables during the week & double her usual meat loaf recipe. She would layer all the leftovers with some of her homemade beef gravy & it was the best! Adding the mushrooms & parm cheese sounds good, must give it a try.

Shepherd's Pie has always been a favorite of mine....the first one I made had about 100 spices in it! This one does look much easier - adding it to my recipe box. Thanks for sharing.
