shepherd's pie

the past few days i've been wanting to make shepherd's pie. it started because alexis is not eating gluten, corn or dairy. i thought this could be a dish that i could make without any of those things and that it'd still be a type of comfort food for the cold weather we've had. this didn't end up happening while we were together but i had time today while watching football to make it. since alexis would not be eating it i added the little bit of cheese i had and used a package of mixed veggies that had corn in it. since i've never made this before i read a few recipes online and then did my own thing. i used both ground beef and ground pork and cooked it with garlic, onions, a can of tomato paste, a can of stewed tomatoes, ketchup, worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper. while that was cooking i peeled some potatoes and mashed them with butter and heavy cream.  i put a layer of meat mixture at the bottom of a pan then topped it with a layer of potatoes and baked it for 45 minutes at 350.  it turned out good but i think i need to make some changes if i decide to make it again.  next time i'd make a pan gravy to serve it with so i'd need to change up some of the ingredients to mess with the gravy.
