I did not puree the carrots as directed in the original recipe b/c my blender is broken. I just boiled diced carrots in salted water and then layered them over the beef layer. They were delicious.
Its a little labor intensive, but totally worth the your efforts. Go ahead an double the recipe and make a couple of Pyrex dishes to freeze for the future!

We lurve Shepherd's Pie! I've been making it for a few years and have found that when I freeze the whole dish, i.e. with potatoes, the potatoes don't reheat well. How did yours turn out after freezing? I always just prepare the filling and freeze that and then make fresh potatoes and then top and bake. I'm interested to see how your potatoes hold up! Also, try adding a little red wide to your filling...its amazing!
