Sweet Potato Shepard’s Pie

I tended to roll my eyes at the thought of having casserole as a child. I had many Shepard’s Pies made with white potatoes and usually zero flavor. This recipe is so delicious because of the full flavor because of the sweet potatoes. I also find this perfect mix of vegetables is not only classy,…
