Very easy, but not very tasty. Will spruce it up with red pepper, hot sauce, mexican corn, etc. next time to add more flavor.

Great little twist on Sheperd's Pie!! I went greek with mine. I put two eggs with the potatoes to hold them together; and added Greek Yogurt (or sour cream) and Garlic to the beef. I also used Mozzerella Cheese. We love cheese, so I put an extra layer in the middle. Very Good!!

My family enjoys this casserole. I add a can of mushroom soup to the meat, as well as garlic. I then put all of the mashed potatoes on top of the meat and cover everything with grated cheddar cheese. It is yummy.

This was a very good recipe. I have a picky husband, so I had to leave out the onion and pepper. But I added a layer of corn and it still turned out good.

This recipe was good. I have a very fussy 8 yr old and he really liked it. It did made a lot of food. Next time I might scale it down to serve less. I added some brown gravy to the meat and I used shredded cheese that I mixed in with the potatoes. I also added a can of creamed corn which made it a little soupy. Next time I will use regular corn. I also will leave out the green peppers. But this is something I will definately make again.

Great recipe! I also know this one as Shepherd's Pie. One in our family can't have cheese, so I made a nice serving of gravy from the drippings and spooned plenty over the meat layers. I used 1 lb. each hamburger and sausage, and added a few cloves garlic, 1 T. sage and a couple shakes of Tony's (creole seasoning) while browning meat. With these additions, I had no problems with flavor! There are so many variations you could make of this (adding veggies, soups, sour cream?) - I'll definitely make it again!

Great recipe, Pat!.....Quick and Easy. I did add 1 teaspoon chopped garlic to the meat while browning. I also added 2 eggs to the meat and the potato mixtures...it seemed to make it hold together a little better. This recipe is supposed to serve 8, but my husband ate 1/2 of it himself!

Good flavor but needed a beef gravy or something to make it interesting. I'll work with it and we'll definitely have it again. Thanks!

Tasted good and very simple to make. I was in a bit of a hurry when I made this recipe, so I used instant potatoes. It turned out very well. Next time I think I'll try adding some gravy like some others suggested.

very good and easy..i made a little adjustments to the recipe. i made it with turkey meat mixed gravey add thyme and made peas and carrots. I layered meat and then the vegtables, potatoes and instead of layering the cheese i mixed it with the potatoes. At the end of the layering I grated the cheese on top of it. very good.. alittle tip use half of pepper. The whole family loved it.

This is a great basic recipe. My hubby is a meat and potatoes guy so by changing this a little he loved it. I added a small can of chopped mushrooms, and a 1/2 can of cream of muchroom soup. You can use more of the soup if you like but it may make the consistency thinner. I also used a box(2packages)of the herb and butter flavored instant potatoes instead of boiling the 6 large. I also added the pretty hefty layer of Velveeta after the first layering of the meat and potatoes, and finished the dish with shredded cheddar cheese then baked until the cheese was golden brown. Will definitely make again. Laurie H.

This is the second time I have tried this recipe. The first time didn't turn out to well because I didn't use enough ground beef and cheese, but had too many potatos. ::chuckling:: The second time I used 2 1/2 pounds of ground beef and alot more cheese. (Like it was suggested, I put a layer of cheese after the first layer of meat and potatos.) The two layers of cheese is amazing. Be careful with the green pepper. The more it is cooked, the more "water" it will produce. I would suggest using 1/2 the green pepper and dicing it up. Then again, I'm not the best cook, so I'm sure there are others that know of different thickening agents to use. Overall....it's incredibly tasty and will be used many times in the Bachelor's life. :-)

My husband said it tastes better than it looks! My daughter loved the cheese. I put cheese on top of the hamburg layers inside too. It would be good with corn mixed in too.

I added some barBQ sauce to the meat mixture to give it a little bit more flavor. And i also added a can of corn to the potatoes along with shredded cheese. Very tasty.
