I had never eaten a turnip and was looking for a new vegetable for the family to try. Two out of four kids, plus my husband and I all gave this recipe a thumbs up. That's a pretty good rating for any vegetable in my house. I may use a little less sugar next time because I tasted a cube of the turnip plain out of curiosity and it was already kind of sweet. My daughter said the taste reminded her of sweet carrots. I'll probably make this again.

I tripled this recipe for a big group and it was great. I was expecting it to be a little creamier, but once I got over that surprise, I was very pleased. We served it with sour cream, cheese, and bacon pieces for garnish.

I've made Shepherd's Pie before (without a recipe - just trying to replicate someone else), but this was the best. I realized after I'd decided to make it that I didn't have cream of mushroom so I used cream of chicken. And I also realized I was out of green beans, so I used corn. I also added a few diced peppers to the hamburger meat while browning it. I diced the peppers and onions very tiny so that my kids wouldn't see them. I will definitely make it again, and I will try it with the green beans next time. Awesome family-friendly recipe.
