Super Shepherds Pie!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its me! I promise. I will prove it, My name is Jamie I live in Maryland my birthday is September 12. I live in Laurel Maryland, my favorite colors are yellow  and sparkles. Y'all believe me? Do you? You better cause its me.  Y'all probably didn't recognize me because of my HOT new nails painting. I went to get my nails done. I get them done a lot but I got this BEAUTIFUL flower design with these dots bigger to smaller and these line things. They look really good. Just making.  Omg really fast, so I was reading this book to my class for something and they all shout" circle time", I was like" wow you guys like it more then 1st graders! Anyway, so I went to Penn State and I went to this Irish pub. The menu said the best selling dish was Shepherds pie. So I was like " Okay, I will order the Shepherds pie. So I was waiting for the waitress to come and I was looking at the waiters and waitresses and I realized their heights.  Now I am nobody ti judge anybodies  shortness since I am very short myself. Wait! Hold that thought. I know what y'all are thinking" How tall are you"? Well I am not telling you. Sorry, I am not telling anybody my height. Last  time I went to the doctors and I was waiting for them to measure my height. The girl next to me was in 4th grade and she was taller then me!!! I was crushed! I was so sad! That is short for you! Anyway, the workers looked like  10 year old. It was funny though because there are a lot  myths in the Irish culture about Leprecons. Leprecons are said to be short and they were shorter then short! So I was looking  around and our waiter came. So I ordered my Shepherds pie and about 20 minutes later our dinner came. I had that first bite of shepherds pie and OMG, it was the absolute most no doubt the WORST shepherds pie ever!!!! The beef was bland,tough, and dry. The mashed potatoes were not mashed they were chunks of bland soggy potatoes. That was the only thin in it, potatoes and meat. So I left hungry. Nobody liked there food so we stopped at a pizza place but it is oven brick and not like Dominoes or Papa Johns like a pizza restaurant. That was good. We stayed 3 days and The last two days we ate at the same place because it was SOOOOOO good!!!!!!!!!!!!! So the second day I got Shepherds pie. It was the BEST shepherds  pie ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The potatoes were perfectly seasoned with fresh cream and butter. Tender juicy flavorful meat! Lots of veggies and the like sauce was the most flavorful sauce I have ever had in my life!!!!!!!! It was amazing!  I finished it in seconds. The most flavorful savory dinner pie I have ever ate!! I didn't know you could cook that good. I knew I had  to Replicate it. If you ate it you would to! You can't eat that shepherds pie and not replicate it. 

So know that we had our Chit-Chat about why I am putting this on, lets say what is in and with it! So there are veggies like carrots, peppers, onions, and peas. The tender ground beef is more then amazing tender beef and the sauce with so much seasoning and flavor!!!!!! Topped off with cheddar cheese!!!! I'm loving it! I do!!!!!! There are some salty flavors to which is nice because I love when you have a salty flavor. I really love this stuff!!!!!!!!!!!! Heaven on a plate. Well enjoy!!!!!!!
