Simple Lentil Shepard Pie

My favorite comfort dish is Lentil Shepard Pie. It’s an easy meal to make. So delicious, filling and so full of flavor. The sweetness and earthiness of lentil goes so well with the creamy potatoes. The bread crumbs on top are finishing up the dish with a crunch. So rich and comforting!
