My review
Simple Shepherd's Pie
SUEMAC7131960
"This is a recipe that my MIL gave me. It's French Canadian and called Pate Chinois, which translates to Chinese Pie. It's a little twist on shepherd's pie but it's simple, delicious and sticks to your ribs on a cold, wintry night! Leftovers (not typical in my house!) are even better as the flavors all blend nicely. Good comfort food!"

Tastes just like Memère's! I like to sprinkle the top with a little paprika and parsley to jazz it up.

I'll add this to my standard dinner list. It's old fashioned comfort food! The picture has cheese on top, which I didn't add. I made it with ground turkey and it turned out great!

I didn't make any changes and it was a nice dish on a cold winter night. My six year old grandson had two servings. I will make it again.

This is the shepherd's pie I grew up on. My grandma was French Canadian. I always wondered why all of the other shepherd's pies were so different than the one I'm used too.

Tasty and pretty quick. I omitted cream corn and added fresh baby carrots...simmered with ground beef.
