Sausage Florentine Shepherd's Pie image

In this Italian take on traditional shepherd's pie, sausage takes the place of ground beef (or lamb), and spinach replaces the green veggies. Zesty tomatoes, Italian cheese blend and garlicky mashed potatoes make this dish incredibly long on flavor, even though the ingredient list is short. -Leah Lyon, Ada, Oklahoma

This dish is a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. I always have mashed potatoes leftover from Thanksgiving and this is a great way to use them up.

I'm on a low-carb diet, so I made this dish without the potatoes. It was still delicious and very filling.
