Whole30 Sweet Potato Shepherd's Pie

This is not my recipe —I made this a while back and plan to make this next week!

It was amazing and perfect for meal prepping because it tastes good reheated and even cold. you can add so many veggies to this and the kiddos won’t even notice.

I plan on adding some spinach or power greens when I cook the meat to add even more veggies to this dish!
