This is 1 of the dish on Christmas menu. I been wanting to bake a special shepherd's pie for this special day. Oh well, special not in a way of its' shape but unique in the ingredients. Original recipe calls for ground beef and Worcestershire sauce. However, i replaced the meat with minced pork and as for the seasoning, i mixed my own.
