For richer flavor, try browning the ground beef with a diced onion and a clove of garlic. Feel free to experiment with different cheeses, but American cheese offers a distinct melt and tang that complements the other ingredients beautifully. If you like a crispy top, broil the Shepherd's Pie for the last few minutes of baking, watching carefully to prevent burning.
