As Stormmee said, recipes for shepherd's pie give you an idea of what
to do but you don't need to follow it as slavishly as you would follow
a cake recipe.

Here is one I emulated (didn't follow it to a T, but it was good
inspiration).

This is when I first tried mashed cauliflower, which is excellent with
asiago cheese in it as per the mashed potato part of the recipe. The
Food Network show I watched where he demonstrated how to make it, his
alternative to the listed vegetables was to buy a package of frozen
mixed vegetables (the kind with corn and green beans in it) to use. I
tried that and haven't looked back. Now I keep a package in the
freezer so I don't have to go shopping just to make a pot pie.
