I made this vegetarian style with fake ground beef and it was the best shepherds pie I've ever made. I like to use lima beans, corn and green beans, or whatever is leftover in the fridge. Will make this again for sure.

Despite following the recipe this was bland and lifeless, not to metion watery(?). Not the hearty dish that I recall from childhood. Guess I need to try to figure that one out on my own.

Thought the way the recipe was written, it might be bland, so added onion, garlic, celery, & green pepper to the meat while browning. Didn't have any mushrooms, so left those out. I added about 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese to the top of the potatoes about 15 minutes before I was to take it out of oven. Very good, & usually have all of these ingredients on hand.

Easy! And a great way to use leftover mashed potatoes. Even better if you top with some shredded cheddar near the end.

This recipe was great and my kids ate it up. I used instant mashed potatoes for ease and as a time-saver.

When browning ground beef add a cut up onion and spices to your taste for more flavor. Use fresh or frozen vegetables. Only use 1 can of cream (mushroom) soup - 2 cans made it too soupy. Add cheese to top when baking. This recipe was Okay - Thanks for posting

Didn't have cream of celery, so I just added a little bit of sour cream & milk. Very good! Thanks for the twist on the traditional Shepherd's pie.

I've always used cream of mushroom in my shepherd's pie. I didn't follow all steps though. I used 1lb ground turkey, 2 pouches of garlic & herb mashed potato mix and a little bit of nibblet corn. i did cook the potatoes with 1 can of veggie broth and 2 cups of water to give it the missing veggie flavor. i made this in a small square casserole dish and buttered the dish instead of sprayed it. i put a small portion of potatoes on the bottom of the dish, just enough for a thinish layer. sprinkled some corn on top of that. i browned my meat and added garlic salt, pepper, salt, and a sprinkling of basil. i added a large can of cream of mushroom soup and stirred them together. i put that in the dish, then put the remaining potatoes on top of that. i dotted it with butter and added another sprinkling of pepper. yum!
