I'm not entirely sure if this recipe is particularly classic or not, but it's good anyway. Many other recipes contain both peas and corn and if you want, it is easy to just add this to the meat filling, but for my own part, I usually don't do this.
Personally, I make a similar variation of Shepherd's pie if I had a larger amount of bolognese left over - I just add a little Worcestershire sauce and tabasco to the bolognese and then cover this with mashed potatoes and cheese. But if I choose to cook it from scratch, this is the recipe I use.
It is a really good recipe that can be prepared in a few different ways. Among other things, you can prepare the meat filling the day before and store it in the fridge. It is also possible to prepare the mashed potatoes. Or you can prepare the whole dish with meat filling and mashed potatoes, cover with plastic wrap or similar and store it in the fridge for a day. Then you can just take it out of the fridge and let it come up to room temperature while the oven heats up.
