Great! I used extra potatoes and added a little sour cream (instead of the cooking liquid) when mashing them. Frozen mixed vegetables and fresh mushrooms worked well.

AMAZING!!! It is my favorite thing that my husband cooks!!! He does add some garlic to the beef to give it more flavor.

This recipe was easy to make, but I thought the use of the condensed soups left this dish a little bland tasting. I wish I would've added more herbs or spices of some kind. I would probably make this again, but I'd definitely have to modify it so that the filling has more flavor.

Used golden mushoom soup and seasoned the meat mixture with cajun seasoning. Great end result - no left overs!

Needs some more spices/flavor. Some cheese on top would also be good.

I used to loathe shepherd's pie when I was a kid, but for some reason, thought I'd give it a shot with this recipe, mainly because some of the fantastic tweaks done by the other reviewers. Added cup of water with beef boullion cube and packet of onion soup to the beef before adding soups and veggies. Put mashed potatoes on bottom, then cheese, then beef, then more potatoes. Delicious. My boyfriend, who was skeptical, because "Shepherds pies are usually bland" ate it up. The kids too! Will definately make it again!

This recipe was a real hit at my house. It is easy to make and tastes delicious. I used frozen vegetables instead of canned for some extra flavour. I also added some garlic to the mix and grated cheese on top of the potatoes.

This was really good, but I made a lot of changes, first off I sauteed the beef with onions, added fresh mushrooms and frozen peas, seasoned with salt & pepper and a bit of all spice, when it was all cooked I added a can of Heinz Mushroom Gravy instead of the condensed soup cans. I also used the Betty Crocker instant mashed potatoes (2 pouches), sprinkled some cheddar cheese on top and baked it in the oven for 30 minutes @ 350. Following that I set it on broil for a few minutes to get a nice golden top. It was really good and my family really enjoyed it and asked that it becomes a staple recipe. This is what I would do a bit differnetly next time: I would only use 1/2 a can of gravy, and I would doulbe the amount of mashed potatoes and put a layer on the bottom and the top.

Very easy and great recipe. Added onion and used fresh mushrooms when browning the ground beef. Also took a reviewer's advice and used chunky vegetable soup for more gravy and added more potatoes for the topping.

Living in Okinawa, Japan, you definitely don't get that many opportunities to eat Sheperd's pie. Followed acouple of the other reviews Directions, Made my potatoes differently and added cheese at the end. but I gotta tell you, That dish is Amazing.

Great and super easy recipe! I doubled (or more) the potatoes and mashed them with milk. Didn't have a can of cream of celery, so used a can of cream of chicken and omited the mushrooms. Prefection! Thank you for this recipe!

This recipe was very filling and rich! I added one can of condensed tomato soup and omitted the cream of celery. My boyfriend and brother do not eat carrots however in this recipe they ate everything in it!

The family loves this recipe -- it is Scrumptious! Great comfort food; very easy to prepare. To really simplify, I try to keep cooked ground beef on hand, so I can throw this together quickly. I have also used the "store bought" ready-made mashed potatoes (trying to stay away from instant). Using precooked meat and ready made potatoes, meal goes together very quickly.

This was truly fantastic. I made changes for things i had on hand/prefer. I browned the ground beef. While that was cooking I microwaved pea/mushroom frozen veggies in the steam bag. Then i mircrowaved betty crocker's mashed potatoes (i usually make them from scratch, but it was a weeknight and they tasted really good). Once the meat was browned i added a teaspoon of minced garlic and some onion powder, s & p. I threw in the veggies when they were done and a can of cream of mushrooms and golden mushroom soup (i used slight less then the whole can of that). I mixed. In the casserole dish i layered potatoes, then some shredded cheese, then the meat/veg mixture, then potatoes, then cheese. I baked it on 420 for 15 minutes, then added some fried onions (canned) and baked for 5 more minutes. Yum!

Just got done eating this easy to make dish. I must say the wife didn't initially share my enthusiasm about making Shepherd's Pie. She said she had tried it once or twice before and didn't like it. Not only did she like it but she brought some of our leftovers to her Mom and Sister. Their reviews are still pending. I will make this again but I'm considering using less potatoes. I used 10 (because of several reviews I read) but I'm thinking 6-7 might be more around the ball park for us. Overall, great dish. Definite rib sticker. Thanks for an easy to follow recipe.

I loved your idea of adding the cream of celery and mushroom soups!!! It made such a difference! I used ground turkey, sauteed some onions, didn't use mushrooms (didn't have any), and made garlic mashed potatoes topped with cheese just because I wanted to do something different...but it didn't need these alterations to make this a totally awesome Shepherd's Pie!!! Thanks :) Everyone loved it.

Very good... I did not have potatoes so I used sour cream and chive flavored instant potatoes. Seasoned with what I like, garlic. Placed potatoes on the bottom then
