"I call this pizza shepherds pie because the first time I made it my husband said the cheese made it taste like pizza. The consistancy of the meat mixture should be thick, but not dry. 6 Weight Watchers points per serving if using the leanest minced beef available and low fat Mozerella."

I live in the UK and for other recipezaar fans in the UK I reccomend getting down the Asda and getting some measuring cups! Since I bought them they have been invaluable and mean I can try making so many more foods!
