PORK SHEPHERD'S PIE



Pork Shepherd's Pie image

I got this recipe from a Taste of Home cookbook. It is a bit time consuming, but worth the effort! My husband suggested putting in some veggies, because what is Shepherd's pie without them? I used fresh carrots and corn, which I cooked beforehand. I also used regular mustard instead of Dijon, since that's what I had on hand. I used pork chops cooked in the crockpot with a little broth.
