Elizabeth's Shepherds Pie image

My mom is British and has been making this for years. My favorite meal growing up and now it's turned into my teenagers favorite as well. OXO cubes are an English bouillon cube which you can crumble in your fingers. They come in a red box and can be found where English foods are bought. NOTE: If you don't use OXO brand cubes, it completely changes the taste and the salt content !
