Anything that turns out as well as this did the first time making it deserves at least 4 stars. Very Good! I'd give it 4+ if I could. I didn't have bell pepper so I used a whole poblano and two roasted green chili peppers, diced. Also, next time I make the potatoes for layering, I would add additional butter, salt and pepper to give them a little richness and depth to go with the savory meat mixture. I've added this to my meal rotation and look forward to making it again.

I used 1/2 diced onions and seasoned the beef prior to cooking. I had leftover chunky mashed potatoes and they were excellent on top of the pie. Worked great!!

Good recipe for comfort food! Sub corn for green beans and sprinkled shredded cheddar on top before baking.

I was looking for a good recipe for "Shepherd's Pie" and used this one recipe for a basis of my own dish. We added a layer of carrots and sweet potatoes and shredded cheese on top. It was delicious.

Wonderful! I made the mashed potatoes with butter, milk and garlic powder. I used a mixture of canned corn and green beans for the vegetables and added about 1/2 cup of tomato paste with the tomato sauce because we like the extra tomato flavor but didn't want it runny. Absolutely wonderful! Will definitely make again!

This is not gourmet or anything, but it is surprisinly tasty. I used to have a similiar recipe, but this one is even better with seasoning the meat. Yum!

It was a really great, really easy recipe. I added about a can and a half of mixed veggies instead of just green beans to give some variety. I also used instant mashed potatoes and it tasted excellent. My boyfriend and I had three helpings each before we were full~ It was so good! Definitely taste-test everything before baking and don't forget the vent holes!

Very good "base" recipe! I chopped up some red onion and added to the ground beef while browning. I too added Lipton Onion soup mix. I didn't use the tomato sauce--didn't have any. Instead I added a little red wine--no worchestershire or ketchup. I used canned french cut green beans. The flour/water mixture held it together very well. For the mashed potatoes, I used instant and added butter and salt. I topped it all off with shredded cheddar cheese. This was EXCELLENT!!! A very good & quick meal for busy moms!

Didn't care for this. Made as specified and found it rather bland. Next day when reheated we added cheese and still really didn't help much.

A very easy recipe to prepare and very good - I don't like green beans, so I used frozen peas and carrots which made it very colorful.

This was a great basic recipe to tweak. I used an 8oz can of tomato sauce, worchester sauce and a packet of lipton onion soup mix instead of salt, pepper and flour mixture. I also used a bag of frozen mixed veggies instead of canned green beans. the meat didn't have as much sauce to it as I would have liked, so next time I will some water to make it a bit juicier. Made the mashed potatoes with milk, sour cream and mustard. Got rave reviews from my whole family... even my 18 month old! will definitely make again!
