    Muffin Tin Shepherd's Pie from 5DollarDinners.com

    These cute mini Shepherd’s pies can be the perfect treat for getting your picky eaters to eat dinner. The small size of these muffin tin shepherds pies are fun for kids and great for serving a crowd. (Think: grab n go holiday party appetizer or snack!)

    You can also pack these for lunches, freeze them for dinner on a busy night, or make them “fresh” and serve them piping hot.

    While these aren’t sweet at all, soon enough your kiddos will be asking for “dinner cupcakes!” (Like my boys do!)

      These look so yummy! Is one serving one “muffin”? Just wondering how much I should make since my husband will gobble these up. Thanks!
