I gave this recipe 4 stars because I changed it a little. I used 2 jars of Heinz canned chicken gravy. (it's low fat and lower sodium than soup) I used sauteed fresh mushrooms and also added 3 cloves of garlic to the ground beef while cooking. I used frozen veggies since I think canned ones are really gross! It was really good with some cheese sprinkled on top of the potatoes the last 15 minutes of baking. My husband has requested that I make this once a week! Thanks for the great recipe - even though I tweeked it a bit - I hardly ever stick to an original recipe, though.

I thought this was really good, DH LOVE it. Granted, I doctored it up quite a bit...I added onion, garlic power, onion powder, used frozen mixed veggies, also added a beef boullion cube, only used 1 can cream of mushroom (definitely think it would be too soupy with 2 cans), but added some celery seed to make up for the celery soup and used fake mashed potatoes to make it easy. Thanks for the base recipe!

I cooked meat with half an onion and added a bit of worcestershire sauce and a variety of spices. My children do not like green beans so I added corn and half a tomato, chopped. I only used 1 can of soup and topped the mashed potatoes with cheese, then cooked covered. It was very good.

This recipe was delicious. I added a handful of shredded cheddar cheese and a little light sour cream to the mashed potatoes, but I loved it. The filling was great tasting. I absolutely recommend it.

Don't waste your time with this one; I thought it sounded bland -- added Worcestershire, rosemary, Montreal steak seasoning, shredded Cheddar cheese, & parsley flakes. Leftovers went from the fridge to the trash can. Sorry about the brutal review, but honesty is the best policy...

I've been looking for something like this for quite a while. I liked the taste of this, but I thought it was a bit too soupy, not as firm as I would have liked. First of all, I added chopped onions, garlic and celery to the beef as I was browning it. I also added some oregano and Worchestershire sauce. I cooked it down until it was nearly dry before adding only one can of cream of mushroom soup. I thought a second can would make it too wet and I'm glad I did. Also, I added a little cream to the potatoes because I thought they were too dry. I also over salted a little. But all in all, it was pretty good and quite filling.

Need plenty of spices to add flavor. Otherwise, it was ordinary although I appreciated the simplicity of the recipe. I used instant potatos to save time.

My family loves this Shepherd's Pie! The only changes I made were to increase the amount of mashed potatoes on top (we prefer making them from Yukon Gold potatoes), and to use frozen veggies in place of the canned. Excellent recipe!

I made this recipe to take to a church pot luck and it turned out pretty good and was easy. I used ground turkey instead and fried it up with one greated carrot and some chopped onion. (I wondered WHY this recipe didnt include onion?). I also used a can of peas and carrots, although next time I will use some frozen peas and carrots, since the color of the canned vegetables was a dull grayish color. ICK. I thought using 2 cans of condensed milk was a bit much, but it wasnt THAT soupy. Next time, I will probably use a little more meat in the recipe anyways. I also added some milk and shredded cheese to the potato mixture before adding it on top. Used an extra potato just in case, would rather have too much than not enough. Will probably half this recipe next time for my hubby and I, and might use instant potatoes if in a hurry. This is a great recipe to make early in the day when you have time, then just pop in the oven later in the day when the usual hassles start. Thanks for the recipe!

Both my husband and I enjoyed this recipe and I will be making this again. Things I changed: I added in 1 beef bouillon cube and a dash of Italian seasoning to the beef mixture, left out the mushrooms, and used Butter & Herb Instant Mashed potatoes. Next time I will probably add in some chopped onions, and my husband suggested putting this in a pie crust.

This was just ok. I added fresh rosemary and worchestershire to the beef, just to jazz it up a bit, I thought it was too generic otherwise. Hubby was not too fond of it, but ate it anyway. Not sure I will make this again, maybe if I am stuck in a rutt for something to make. I think there are better recipes for this out there. It is very easy though, which I liked.

Thank you Sue for this. I have been looking for a recipe for Shepherd's Pie and this was the one. I used corn and fresh mushrooms along with onions and it was a hit with my husband. We enjoyed it just as much the next day. This has become part of my collection of recipes.

Excellent recipe! The potatoes I used were a little on the small side and so the coverage on the top was a little thin. For some, 6 potatoes would be the way to go.
