Individual shepherd’s pie in baked potatoes

I love a hearty shepherd’s (or rather cottage) pie in autumn. Shepherd’s pie is made with lamb and cottage pie is made with beef. I prefer been but you can use which ever.

Chicken enchilada casserole

I love a good tex-mex dish and while they aren’t the most visually pleasing dishes, boy are they comforting!

It’s super simple as really it’s just using chicken fajitas in a dish, covered in salsa, smothered in cheese and baked!
