shepard's pie variation--we used frozen peas and or corn in the recipe instead of green pepper, and added garlic powder and worstershire to the hamburger for taste.

Pretty good, although I added quite a bit of seasoning to the beef because I felt it needed it. I added garlic powder, basil, paprika, cajun seasoning, lots of pepper and salt. Good comfort meal though. I also used cheddar cheese instead of American and added cheese to both layers of potatoes that I used.

We enjoyed this recipe cooked "as is", but made some modifications and loved it. We added more onion, about 1/3 cup worstershire sauce and some garlic. Pepped it up a bit. I also made instant potatoes using canned milk and layered in a blend of shredded casserole cheese. It was a hit at work.

I have made this several times; without reading the reviews, and I have mostly stuck to the orginal recipe. I did use fat free cheese slices (my boyfriend and I are trying to watch our weight). After the first time I did add some salt, pepper, and seasoning to the ground beef mixture. I agree that it is lacking something. Next time I think I will add fat free cream of mushroom soup or fat free sour cream. All in all this is a quick and easy recipe that can easily be made using instant mashed patatoes, I also may try the garlic mashed patatoes suggested by the other reviewers.

My family loved this recipe, and it was pretty simple. I tried it with venison instead of beef, added seasoning salt and garlic salt and it turned out beautifully!

A good basic recipe, but needs a lot more spice to it.

Very good and simple recipe. Hubby loved it! I did as others suggested and cut back a bit. I used only 1 1/4 lb. of ground beef and 4 large baked potatoes (peeled and chopped), and it fit perfectly in a 9x13 casserole dish. I also spiced up the meat, onion, bell pepper mixture with about 1 tsp. of worchestershire sauce and some steak seasoning, as well as sliced baby portabella mushrooms. I also made garlic mashed potatoes instead of just regular mashed potatoes. And I also did as other suggested and added cheese. I made two layers each of beef mixture, mashed potato mixture and then shredded cheddar cheese. Thanks for the recipe! Will certainly make again.

This was really good but needed more of a taste so I would add a layer of cheese in the middle of the dish, everyone liked in my family. Thanks for the recipe

This was wonderful. What a great cold weather dish this will be!!! Comfort food....I took another reviewer's advice and changed the following: I only used 1 lb of ground beef, and I added a package of brown gravy mix, the water called for on the gravy packet, and 1 can of cream of 98% fat free chicken soup to the beef. I saved time by making a huge amount of mashed potatoes on another night, and used the leftovers here. Might use cream of mushroom next time instead of chicken, and I might substitute a little red cooking wine for some of the water. Another favorite at our house!!! [Made this again 10/13/05--used 98% fat free cream of mushroom soup, HOMESTYLE gravy mix, 1/4 cup red wine, 3/4 cup water. Liked it even more!!!!!!!]

When I made this, I made a larger pan of it, so I added another package of potatoes, I also took other peoples advice and used garlic mashed potatoes. Also When I browned the meat, I put some steak seasoning for more flavor. Overall, My family loved it! Would make again!

This is a great recipe. I used large potatos but next time I will use medium sized as I had left over mashed potato.

We thought that this was an easy and delicious casserole. I did make a few changes. I added mushrooms to the hamburger, along with steak sauce and worchestershire to add flavoring. To the potatoes I added garlic and italian seasoning. My husband and I both loved the recipe. This will definitely become a staple in our house.
