Two of any guy’s favourite dishes, at the same time!
Let’s take two comfort foods: shepherd’s pie (or cottage pie, to actually be more accurate, since I’m using beef) and baked potatoes and turn them into one handy little meal. This is a great meal to prep ahead, since the filling can be made and stored in the fridge till needed. In fact you could even freeze the filling! And whether you are two people, four, or more, it is an easy method to accommodate the number of bellies you are feeding.

2 lb lean ground beef, see Notes

1 medium leek, finely sliced
1 stalk celery, diced

1/4 tsp paprika, optional
