This was good, but not GREAT. My husband liked it more than the kids, which I was sure was going to be the other way around. I gave it a 3 because although it is edible, I don't think I will make it again. There are other dishes out there that I would rather put in my dinner rotation.

What a wonderful change of pace for shepherd's pie. I made this last night in honor of St. Patty's Day. This is a VERY KID-FRIENDLY recipe. I used cream of chicken soup rather than mushroom and mixed veggies rather than plain beans. If you brown the ground beef the night before and use prepared mashed potatoes (Country Crock other other brand) it makes for a very easy after work dinner. I will definitely make this again.

I didn't actually follow this recipe, but I did take your idea for a bottom layer of tater tots, which was fantastic! thanks for the idea.

This recipe was just okay. Tasted like a typical casserole not what I was expected. Probably won't make it again.

Simple yet surprisingly delicious and super easy!

This is a very hearty and flavoful reciped. My 12 year old went from "Ewww, what's that?" to "Mmmmm, this is good!" Thanks very much!

This is an awesome quick week night recipe. My husband says it's a keeper and my children loved it and were disappointed there were no left overs. I am sure you could switch up the veggies to your families liking.

Yum! This was a great alternative to the traditional shepherd's pie. The leftovers were good too!! Thanks for the easy and yummy recipe.

Great!

Fantastic recipe. My whole family liked it, even my picky 6 year old son. I added more seasoning, such as seasoning salt and onions but you can adjust it however you would like. Very easy and lots of left overs!

My kids and I really like this, my husband thought it was just okay. I made several changes: lower fat/salt cream of chicken soup instead of cream of mushroom; one half of a large onion diced and cooked with the ground round; one pound of meat instead of one and 1/2 pounds; omitted green beans (my six year old won't eat them) and added in frozen chopped spinach (which I told her was basil!). I mixed the spinach in with the beef and onion. I used cilantro, basil, and coarse ground black pepper as I cooked the meat. I pre-baked the tater tots for fifteen minutes on 425, until they were soft, but not completely done, to cut down on cooking time. I made mashed potatoes the way I usually do, with about half the skins still on, mashed with butter, sour cream, fresh chives, parsley, onion and garlic powder. I baked this for fifteen minutes on 425 rather than 40 minutes on 350. This was very flavorful and only a small piece was left over when the meal was done. If I wasn't cooking for my kids, I'd have left in the green beans, and would have added in mushrooms, cayenne pepper, and other spices. Thanks for a great recipe.

I did like the layers of this dish however, it was very dry and I even used less hamburger then it called for. I will make it again but will need to add a little more moisture somehow.

The whole family loved it! This one's a winner.

This is a delicious, satisfying, all-in-one dish weeknight meal. I made without any adjustments, but it does have potential to adjust to suit your family's taste.

Awesome!! I love the Tater layer, so did my family.
