Too sweet, oddly sweet. The corn and the catsup, probably the main culprits. And the pie crust, maybe. My crust wasn't cooked beforehand, so it wasn't the right consistency. I usually like one-dish wonders, but I won't make this one again. Lose the corn and the pie crust, and spice up the meat seasonings, and use julienned zucchini and squash, perhaps, for starters, but then that'd be a totally different dish...

This is a tough recipe for me to rate because i didn't have any. (i don't eat beef) My husband didn't like it but he is very devoted to my traditional shepherd's pie. I brought some to work and got mixed reviews. It is not as much like a shepherds pie as i thought it would be, but it's not supposed to be. It's a meat loaf pie. I thought it looked beautiful though.

yum-o i loved it husband didnt. I doubled or tripled the worshire and ketchup added the meat and corn together. I didnt have a pie crust and for some reason it reminded me of breakfast casserole so i put cressent rolls in the bottom of my dish and baked for 10 min and then finished it off. Very good comfort food.

Yum, I really liked this one but I ate it with ketchup, tasted much better that way. Used frozen corn instead of canned and probably a little more cheese. Served with Buttery Cooked Carrots (recipe from this site.)

I was looking for a recipe to use up some mashed potatoes from yesterday and this is what I decided to try. It was actually pretty good. I wouldn't skip the crust though--that was the best part (I used a ready made deep dish pie crust and pre-baked it 10 min). I also used a cup of frozen corn in place of canned, and doubled the ketchup & worchestire. Oh, and I added an egg, sour cream, and shredded cheese to the potatoes. Then topped it off with more cheese. It seriously took just minutes to prepare and the family ate it right up.

Such a great recipe! I made this the other night and even the picky 3 year old ate it! The only thing I would do differently is to add some more spice to the meat, I thought that was a little blah but other then that it was great! It heats up fine the next day too. I put it back in the oven at 350 for about 15 min. Also I put the corn between the potatoes and hamburger and it all stayed together really well. Will totally make this again! Everyone loved it.

Super recipe! All kids & husband enjoyed it, it's a keeper! I used a medium sized onion, rather than a small one & made a hot water pie crust from scratch.

I tried this last night. It was very tasty and very quick and easy, which is important to me after work. I quadrupled the ketchup and doubled the worcestershire (I think I'll quad that too next time). I added minced garlic to the mashed potatoes, and used onion flakes instead of real onions-made no difference in taste. I also pre-baked the crust for 10 minutes-made a big difference! Layered meat, then corn, then potatoes and monterey jack cheese. I also did not drain the corn because the recipe didn't call for it. I'll make sure to do so next time. My brother liked it so well, he had 3/4 of a pie by himself. I only gave 4 out of 5 stars because it's a great base recipe that needs a little adaptation.

I made this gluten free so I didn't use a pie crust. It was good but a little bland. Next time I will add some more spices.

When I made this I used mixed vegetables and garlic instant mashed potatoes instead and it came out wonderful! My fiance LOVED it and he was wary of the Worcestershire sauce at first! So easy and SO good! Will definitely make it again!

Tried this recipe for the first time, and I loved it! Of course, I believe I am a bit biased because anything that slaps on mash potatoes and corn is awesome. Heh. I will say, however, it is a bit bland, but I am not one for strong tastes to begin with. I didn't use pie crust, don't even need it.

This was ok, but not super. Probably wouldn't make again because it was so bland tasting even though I doubled the ketchup and Worcestershire.

This was an awesome fast easy meal for my family. I used all left overs for the potatoes ( cheezy potates that my hubby made) and left over vegi's. Becuase we have a larger family and like left overs I used 2.5 lbs of hamberger, and 3 eggs, 1/4 cup of ketchup and A1 steak sauce. IT did take longer to bake as it was in a 9x13 pan, and no pie crust. Thanks for an easy tasty meal!!

This was very good. I made one small addition, a teaspoon of course prepared mustard (Grey Poupon). My guest really enjoyed it & it makes great leftovers (reheat in oven to keep the crust crisp). I will make this again.

This was a WONDERFUL and EASY recipe! My fiancé just loved it and wouldn't stop eating it. I had a ton of leftover mashed potatoes from Easter. So, I just used this recipe to finish them off. What a great way to use leftovers!! One note- I didn't use the pie crust either. I didn't want to add extra calories or carbs. And I put sweet peas at the bottom of the pain instead of corn. It was great!!

Other than skipping the crust, I made this as stated. We liked it very much as a quick and easy weeknight meal. Full of flavor and a great way to get the feeling of a comfort food without a lot of fuss.

I baked the crust ahead of time, added some garlic to the meat and mixed in the corn as others had suggested. I also used barbecue sauce instead of ketchup/Worcestire and it was great. I used boxed butter and herb potatoes. Yum!
