Shepherd's Pie

"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 ..." See moreof 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."

"Excellent! This is the only way I can get my toddler to eat vegetables. Here are some changes I thought made it even better, though: (I used instant mashed potatoes to save time) I started with a laye..." See morer of mashed potatoes on the bottom, then a layer of shredded cheddar cheese (1 to 2 cups), then the meat/vegetable layer, then the next layer of mashed potatoes, dotted with butter, and finished it off with crunchy fried onions.

"Like so many other reviewers, I changed this a bit. I used 7 potatoes, boiled them for 15 minutes, then mashed in about 3 TBS Country Crock spread and a few TBS milk.

I omitted the celery soup. I did use a can of mushroom soup, plus a splash or three of milk and a few TBS of sour cream. Yum! As recommended by MLTS, I decided to do potatoes on the bottom, then filling, then potatoes on top. Oh, I also used an 8" square pan for a thick pie, and it was almost overflowing - in fact, I put foil under it in the oven because the filling started to ooze around the potatoes! Very tasty! Thanks for sharing, Sue! Maybe this will convince my husband that Shepherd's Pie isn't horrible!"
