Family preferences: Stacy prefers baked beans in place of the veggies. My mom likes to use ground lamb instead of ground beef. If I’m feeling healthy I use ground turkey (increase cook time 10 minutes) and broccoli in place of the beef and green beans. Instead of ketchup try BBQ sauce or Thousand Island. Instead of salad dressing try mustard or mayo. Shepard’s pie lends itself to creativity. Anything goes.
