Shepherd's Pie / Cottage Pie

These past 2 days have been really cold here... Although I did not go out, the apartment felt colder than usual... =p Both of us were feeling cold at home today, and thus I decided to use the oven to cook something for dinner. Since I had potatoes to clear before going on our trip, I decided to make this. It is not really considered a Shepherd or Cottage Pie since I used ground pork instead of the usual beef/lamb. It was my 2nd attempt and we think it tasted better than my 1st attempt. =p I had added the Budweiser BBQ sauce we bought from our trip to St. Louis to the ground pork! =)

However, I still felt that the top was not brown even though I left it in the oven for close to half an hour. Later I read online that you can use a fork to run through the top so that there are peaks and it will then brown nicely. Guess I will have to do this for my next attempt! =)
