I needed a fast recipe in a pinch to use some ground beef. I have two sick kids and wanted to give them a warm in your tummy, comfy meal. I just had a baby and was way too tired to think of what to make. Thanks for helping us have a yummy dinner :D

This is a good shepherd's pie and very easy to adjust to personal tastes. After reading various reviews, I adjusted as follows: omitted basil and tomatoes, added finely chopped celery, carrots, few dashes of Worcestershire to my meat mixture. Dusted w/ 3 Tbsp flour and added beef broth for a gravy. To the potatoes I added prepared horseradish to taste and used a cheddar w/ black pepper cheese (cracker barrel), dash of milk and 2 Tbsp butter. Omitted the water, kept the egg in. I have noticed in the past that adding an egg to your mashed potatoes helps them not to melt/disappear into the gravy/beef mix - also provides a nice browning. This gave the potatoes a little zip. Enjoy!

For a more wild flavor, I substituted ground elk and venision, used sweet potatoes for the mashed, and blended goat cheese rather than the listed cheddar. It was a fantastic and robust country style shepherds pie, and everyone loved it.

This was a very easy recipe, however I wished I would have read the other comments prior to making this dish. The dish was very bland, and it would have tasted better if the meat was spiced up prior to laying it out in the casserole dish.

This is a very good recipe, however, I added more garlic, Johnny's seasoning, cream of celery soup, mexican corn to the hamburger mixture.In the mashed potatoes, I used milk, and about 1/4 c. of margarine and omitted the water.
