Nice homey meal. No mushrooms in the house, so I used carrots, celery, red bell peppers, garlic,and peas. I steamed the carrots in the microwave, then added them to the sauteed celery and peppers. Just thawed the peas under cool water. Did not add vinegar and used only buttermilk in the potatoes. I made this from the pot roast recipe, and as I'd already thickened the gravy the night before to have with the potroast, I did not use a thickener for the shepherd's pie, although I did add a TB of organic ketchup for a bit of tomato & sweetness, which made the gravy just luscious. Served with steamed cabbage wedges.
