shepherds pie is made using lamb with mashed potatoes on top and cottage pie with beef lol. This is not a shepherds pie. I'm from the uk and this is not how you make it lol.

Everyone loved this! It was my first time making shepards pie, so I did take the advice of some of the other reviewers and used a third each of a red and orange bell pepper. Also finely minced a few mushrooms and added a beef bullion cube with a half cup of water, a splash of worcestershire, a tbsp of tomato paste, and a little garlic powder. Also put a half cup of colby jack under the potatoes, and cheated on the potatoes by using a box of a roasted garlic. I didn't have a pie crust so I skipped it, but would try it that way too.

After reading several of the other reviews, I did adjust the recipe a little. I added McCormick Hamburger Grill Mates, worcestershire sauce and Cayanne to meat, and garlic to the potatoes. I also added a can of nibblets along with the cream corn. It was PERFECT!!

a delicious combination and the crust is great. I do not know many people who uses a crust with their shepherds pie recipe including myself, but the crust was definately a delicious touch.

I made it exactly according to the recipe, even taking advice from a previous posting to bake the pie crust before filling it - it was watery, bland and overall not good.

Let me start off with the negative. When I put all the ingredients in the UNbaked pie shell at only 350, it took much longer than 30 minutes for it to thoroughly bake. If I were to do it again, I'd pre bake the pie crust slightly, then add the remaining layers and bake at recommended time on recipe. Also, many reviewers complained that the recipe lacked flavor. I, personally, feel it is not a recipe that needs a lot of spicing up. Yes, the potatoes need some salt and pepper, but overall, the recipe is good as written. You could also easily substitute another vegetable for the corn to give it a totally different flavor. Having said all that, it was a pretty good recipe. But, if you have a shepherd's pie recipe you already use and enjoy, then stick with it.

My kids loved this for a weekend lunch, I added a little Mrs. Dash garlic to the meat mixture and tiny bit of worcestershire sauce, left out the pie crust and they went nuts over it, with the cream corn I also added a can of niblets corn, and salt and pepper to the potatoes, came out wonderful..and kid friendly.....
