Bubble and Squeak Shepherds Pie
Bubble and Squeak Shepherd's Pie is simple, quick to assemble, and full of flavour. We’ve topped ours with a creamy bubble and squeak mash made from leftover potatoes and veg, but you can easily swap yours with whatever you’ve got left over from your Christmas dinner. The filling is warming, hearty and delicious - the perfect boxing day combo.
