Storage
Freeze the meat filling and mashed potato separately in freezer-proof containers. These will keep in the freezer for up to 2 months. To cook from frozen, defrost the meat and mashed potato in the fridge overnight and assemble and bake, making sure the shepherd’s pie is piping hot all the way through before serving.
