J. J.'s Shepherd's Pie
I got this simple recipe 20 years ago from my friend J.J. The secrets to this classic comfort-food are American cheese and creamed corn. I have tried every cheese on earth over the years, and American seems to work the best. Prepare the mashed potatoes to your liking--I season mine with milk, butter, and pepper. My kids and I go crazy for this!
