This recipe is really good! We have made this many times but I always top it with cheese and it is really good that way.

Less potatoes, added: garlic, onion, cheese, Sage, Cumin & Oregano for MORE FLAVOR
Frank Huff
My family called this a keeper.
Robert Bailey
Wasn’t bad, but not as good as others. I believe I followed the recipes, but I did add salt and pepper and onion to the burger. Just not very flavorful.

No beans, corn I made it some time back. My husband is begging for more. It’s going to be my meal for tonight 4/29/16

This is easy, great tasting comfort food. I often use frozen peas instead of the canned green beans but otherwise I follow the recipe

Bland. First time I made it I didn’t like it. Maybe it’s just me…..don’t like raw ground beef that is just stuck in the oven to cook. When I tried the second time, I browned meat and onions in frying pan, then added spices and tomato sauce. Put meat in casserole dish and added a small bit of water to frying pan to deglaze it and added this to the meat. Also added a little cheese to the potatoes. MUCH BETTER.

Good base recipe; add your own twist.
Alison Martin
Delicious. Added a second 8-ounce can of tomato sauce and a LOT more vegetables: besides the canned green beans, 1 can of corn, 4 slender fresh carrots chopped and cooked for 4 minutes, 1/2 yellow onion chopped. We used 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce. We added 1 cup shredded cheese to the 9 mashed potatoes and sprinkled some of it on top of the pie. It makes A LOT. Easily enough for 12.

This was my first time making a shepherd’s pie, so I picked this recipe since it was the easiest. It was a hit. I did cut the mashed potatoes but I think I could have still cut it more. I did also add condensed tomato soup & dry onion soup mix & a lil milk like I saw mentioned on other reviews. i didn’t have the worceseterhire sauce & I don’t think it was missed. I also left a spoonful or so of the onion soup mix & added it to the mashed potatoes when I made them….
Lori Young
This is our go-to shep pie recipe. It’s a great base recipe. I always change up the veg depending on what I have and always add more Worcestershire.
Tammy Anderson
One of my favorites-I added 1 cup of shredded Cheddar during the last 10 minutes of baking time.
Jennifer Chapman
I have made this before and it was good, but this time I made a few changes. I added one can of corn instead of green beans. I added 1/2 tablespoon chili powder, 1 tablespoon minced onions 1 and 1/2 cups of mild cheddar cheese. I mixed 1 cup of the cheese with all ingredients and 1/2 cup of cheese with the mash potatoes. It came of GREAT.
David Miller
Awesome! Just made a couple changes. I fried a little onion and celery with the ground beef, threw in a little garlic, and didn’t have green beans so substituted a bag of frozen mixed veggies for the beans. Turned out great! Will definitely make again.
Marcus Cisneros
Awesome recipe, added corn layer also and onion soup mix packet to meat instead of the other seasonings as recommended by another. All 3 of my boys loved it (My husband being my 3rd boy!)
Brittany Kelley
This is my daughter’s favorite home-cooked meal, and she’s an EXTREMELY picky eater. For the mashed potatoes, I mashed with butter and cream. At her request, I now use only corn. My husband and son also love it.
