Used a whole onion and a few garlic cloves, which I sautéed, then added the cooked meat (used ground turkey). I put a layer of mashed potatoes on the bottom and on top (at least 4 c.) Yum!

This is a great comfort food and so easy. I did change a few ingredients. I added 1 cup frozen peas, 1 can niblets corn, i usually don't use green beans but since I had some leftover I threw them in also. Added a salad and fresh baked bread=one delicious easy dinner.

5 stars for ease and speed of preparation, but 4 stars for the flavor. Didn't have green beans, so substituted chopped frozen broccoli. Also added some garlic powder, oregano, and parsley for a bit of seasoning, and sauteed the onions as well. My wife and I were pleased with the result. Satisfying fare for every day dinners, but not necessarily a dish I would whip up if I were trying to impress anybody.

This was good. The reason for 3 stars is I think it actually needed just a little bit of seasoning. I followed the recipe exactly as given. Next time, I think I will cut down on the onion, add in some ground pepper and a little garlic salt, plus a little more cheese. And on a side note, this is really a cottage pie since it uses ground beef instead of ground lamb. I recommend the recipe, it's really good ... thank you for sharing with us.

This recipe is tasty and fairly easy to make. I find that it is even better if put in a pie crust. Although the potatoes are supposed to form some sort of crust, I noticed that the potatoes were not getting crispy enough and that it was easier to just put it inside an actual crust. Also, I used corn instead of greenbeans. I added some minced garlic (one to two cloves) in with the onion and sauteed in olive oil before adding to the mixture. This added a good flavor. Also added some sour cream and garlic powder as others suggested and this also added more flavor.

This was a yummy choice of the many shepherd pie options out there. The addition of the cream of mushroom soup made me think of green bean casserole. Once I made that connection, I think the addition of the french fried onions would make this an even more standout of a recipe. Try this version and you will not be disappointed!

This was a very easy and quick recipe. There wasn't alot of seasoning in it so the next time I make this I will be adding some herbs to kick it up a notch and maybe some worcestershire sauce or something. Just so it's not so bland. But all in all this is a very good recipe

This is delicious. I substituted ground turkey for the ground beef, but otherwise made the recipe just as written. This one is definitely going into the dinner rotation.
