Now that we are all in “Back To School Mode”, I’m ramping up on the slow cooker recipes. Because the truth is, when everybody gets back to the routine that Autumn usually brings, it not only takes a while to adjust but it also gets a little crazy-busy. Soccer practice, ballet lessons and all those fun things that get worked into the family schedule keep mom and dad running!
Slow cookers are great for easing that schedule. They make life easier simply because you don’t have to stand over a hot stove for hours. You might have to brown some meat or saute’ some veggies, but overall, your time in the kitchen is greatly reduced. Better still is the fact that everything can cook while you run errands or play taxi. It’s the perfect setup for a busy life! And this clean eating shepherd’s pie is just such a recipe.
