Shepherds Pie... Low Carb, High Gravy, Bariatric Eating Style

My mom used to make Shepherds Pie in a brown ceramic dish with a big handle. It was creamy and beefy with lots of delicious gravy. With a few changes, this is a wonderful warm and comforting dish that you will love.

World's Best Meatloaf

Not humble about this one. I make FANTASTIC meatloaf! Wednesday at my casa is often Meatloaf Night as the local Fresh Market has a weekly $2.99/pound fresh ground chuck deal. No bread crumbs as I have discovered that you do not need 'a binder'. My husbands favorite meal!
