Sweet Potato Shepherd’s Pie
Here at Remodelaholic we love all things home decor and DIY, but we also love RECIPES. While we will continue to share our latest and greatest remodeling projects we want to start sharing some really yummy recipes once a week. Enjoy the recipes and know that we are still Remodelaholics.
This season is crazy busy around here, there are all the festivities, the dinner parties, the gifts, the games and the friends and family coming from out of town so to say that our to-do lists are maxed out is an understatement. They are literally so full that making dinner has gone to a second place, so needless to say I decided to hit the reset button and brainstorm some easy and crowd favorite recipes that could be made even in the most hectic day.
However, I also wanted the recipes to be seasonal because with the harvest season in full swing, I want to really use as much of the delicious veggies as we possibly can.
So that’s how this sweet potato shepherd’s pie came to life. This recipe is delicious it’s easy and it’s super flavorful. It also makes a great use of all the sweet potatoes that are taking our supermarkets and farmer markets by storm.
However, the total best thing for me is that this is weekend approved. You can be super busy and chockfull of things to do and very little time to cook, and you can still be able to whip this up mainly because most of the time is hands-off time, but also because overall this is a quick recipe.
Also feel free to experiment with the fillings! While I seriously believe that sweet potato is the best way to go, you can also feel free to tuck in some of the things you already have in your pantry or fridge, the reason? This recipe is so flavorful you can stuff it with all those random, leftovers and still have the same delicious sweet potato shepherd’s pie.
