I'm making a Shepherd's Pie for supper to cheer ourselves up.
I buy the Colman Shepherd's Pie mix, available through Publix grocery stores, on the English import isle.
If it's not on hand, then the gravy part is made with Oxo's or beef bouillon cubes and tomato paste, rosemary, thyme, garlic, and parsley.
It will be accompanied by boiled cabbage, mashed
