Easy Shepherd's Pie with Garlic Romano Potatoes

“This is a very easy shepherd's (cottage) pie that's topped with wonderful garlic and Romano potatoes. You can change the ingredients to add almost anything you like. Kids love this, and it's even better after sitting for a day. You should have most of the ingredients on hand so no trips to the grocery! You can substitute any cheese for the Romano, as well.”

Love this recipe! I have made a couple of times now. Opted to use parmesian cheese rather than romano and that has worked out fine. Made to recipe otherwise. Give this one a try!

Good recipe. Instead of cans of mixed vegtables, I added frozen corn, frozen peas and cooked carrots. The final result as a little soupy so next time I may eliminate the diced tomatoes. The potato topping was yummy.

Tried and true. I use this recipe every time. Rosemary was the missing ingredient in my old Shepherd's Pie recipe. Sometime instead of the Garlic Romano Potatoes, I use plain mashed or sometimes hashbrowns. Good any way you choose.

Great quick meal. I actually used Betty Crocker instant potatoes and still got rave reviews and requests for seconds...

This was such a hit! I left out the tomatoes because I thought it would make it too soupy (plus we don't love cooked tomatoes). I also used frozen corn, peas & green beans (about half what it called for) instead of canned. It was VERY yummy! My husband wants me to make the potatoes by themselves in the future!

Why on earth would you put some JUNK in this like INSTANT potatoes and then rate it 3 stars? Hello! Instant potatoes? Have you lost your ever-loving mind?

Good for a Sheperds Pie but not exceptional - possibly my fault. Made a minor change to make it go faster for supper. Used instant potatoes instead of the real thing. As a result, neglected to mix cheese into potato mixture. Added cheese to top during broiling.

The meat/vegetable mixture of this recipe makes a lot. I added a large handful of matchstick carrots when I sauteed the onion and garlic and canned corn in place of the mixed veggies. When I made the potato mixture, I used half potato, half cauliflower. Other than that, I made no other changes. The potato portion of this recipe was enough to cover half of the meat mixture in one of my circular casserole dishes. I plan on freezing the other half and using on a busier day. Let's hope the boys like this one!

The mashed potatoes for this pie are amazing but the meat/vegetables need work, too tomato-y. Not sure how to fix that. Might make the potatoes again, however.

Very tasty! I added more garlic and used a light Celtic cheddar, and it turned out great! My family thought it could have used slightly more potatoes, so I might add a potato or two next time to balance the meat and potatoes a little better.

Nice variation on the potatoes (Romano cheese). I use heavy cream instead of milk along with butter, garlic powder, salt and pepper to make my mashed potatoes. For an easy BUSY MOM recipe, add a large can of vegetable soup to the beef after it is browned (instead of adding veggies or tomato sauce). Let it simmer for a few minutes and then place beef mixture in the bottom of a glass baking dish. Continue layering with a large can of sweet corn (drained) and then mashed potatoes. Top with pats of butter and paprika - and serve with beef gravy. Talk about a crowd pleaser! You can make this dish well in advance and keep it in the fridge until you get home from work. Pop it in the oven on at 350 for approximately 1/2 hour and serve with a green leafy salad. My family loves this meal, and I am thankful that it is so easy.

This was great! Really very easy and tasty. We halved the recipe, and used a 16 oz bag of frozen California mix veggies (defrosted in the microwave and left/pressed to drain) that we diced in place of the canned veggies. I didn't care for the rosemary, but I never do :) so I'll substitute another herb for that next time. Also used Parmesan instead of Romano because we always have a hunk in the house. We added a few large spoonfuls of baked winter squash to the potatoes, per another reviewer's suggestion, and you couldn't even taste it - but it added vitamins for sure! Left out the butter in the potatoes, but we may have added just a little more Parmesan in its place... :) Thanks for the recipe - it's a keeper!

A pretty good casserole. I have a similar recipe I make that uses tomato soup. Didn't have any so I tried this recipe, as I had the ingrediants on hand. The potatoes were fabulous! I used parmejan cheese and they were absolutly delicious! I still think I'm partial to my own recipe, but will definitely use this potato recipe on top. Thanks!
