Slow-Cooker Shepherd's Pie image

This pub favorite is so simple to make ahead of time-you can layer the ingredients in your slow cooker the night before. Cover and refrigerate; then plug in the cooker and you're ready to go. Use your slow cooker to make a traditional shepherd's pie that's filled with lean ground beef and vegetables and topped with creamy mashed potatoes.
