Shepherds Pizzaiola Pie













I'm not a huge fan of one pot meals or casseroles but my husband is. So now and then I make one for him and this is one of his favorites. I actually came up with this recipe by accident when I once had leftover bolognese sauce and leftover mashed potatoes. A light bulb turned on in my mind and Shepherds Pizzaiola pie was born! Since then I have tried to perfect it to share with you! Don't be afraid to switch out the vegetables for your own favorites. I personally think this would be great with green and red roasted peppers but my hubby does not eat them :( stay tuned for my Garlic Mashed Potatoes Recipe that I used to top this dish.
