This is a family favorite recipe! We all enjoy it!

Never made Shepherd's pie before although I cook a lot. I added things while I was cooking to make sure it was seasoned well. I season as I go and not at the very end, balances it better it my opinion and you use less salt in the end. Browned the meet before mixing with veggies and added some paprika powder as well as a good amount of pepper. Fresh parsley with the vegetable and meet mixture and a bit of Worcestershire sauce.

Was disappointed with how bland it was... I had to add lots of salt and pepper to it. Since I don't really "cook," I wasn't sure what to add to it. Don't think I will be making this dish again.

It was a good dinner, nothing special, but quickly prepared and delicious. Our toddler loved it as well, it was easy for her to eat it by herself. The two older kids liked it, too. I will definitely make it every now and then, when I run out of ideas.

Disappointed that no nutritional stats are included in any of the recipes.

This was a good straightforward evening supper. It was a bit boring and I felt it needed more seasoning, even after I had added 2 minced cloves of garlic with the vegetables. It was ok but not "wow".

I tasted the meet before assembling and added just a little salt and pepper. Glad I did! I am always trying different shepherd's pie recipes because my husband still raves about his ex-girlfriend's mom's shepherds pie. This recipe does not top hers. Of course no recipe ever has (Gordon Ramsay's lamb recipe is the closest I've gotten). In my opinion, it was just okay. It made for a homey dinner. On to the next recipe!

This was absolutely delicious!! I was a bit concerned by the texture of the mashed potatoes at first, as they were a little soggy, but they settled well!! Easy to make.

For an amazing presentation, I use individual large ramekins or 5" aluminum pie pans and pipe potatoes.

This is technically a Cottage Pie. Shepherd's PIe is made with lamb.

This meal was a mess. I used a 13 x 9 inch pan

This was a fantastic recipe. I didn't have tomato paste so used 16 oz canned tomato sauce and just a few oz water instead of the recommended amount of water. The veggie/meat mixture was quite bland so I added salt, pepper, and special sauce.... Vietnamese fish sauce (!) and it added all the needed body to the mixture. Will definitely be making this again and again!

Yum! The family loved this. Luckily, i tasted the meat and the potatoes before assembling in the pan. I had to add a lot of seasoning and then it was delish! The potatoes crisped up so nicely. Will definitely make this again!

Excellent! I used ground lamb instead of beef. I also cooked it separate from the veggies, which eliminated any excess grease. Also, I cut back on the celery and added frozen organic peas. For seasoning, I used Herbes de Provence and addiitional salt and pepper. I also increased the amount of tomato paste to give it more flavor. Replacing the water with beef broth helps. Last, I used GUYERE cheese instead of cheddar. (only because that's what I had on hand). Great flavors!

We love this recipe too. I make it at least a couple of times every winter. I am goingto try and drain the fat from the beff because it can get a bit greasy. Very tasty.

I should have made burgers and fries. It was greasy (even though I used lean ground beef), so wet and sloppy it spilled all over the oven. And on top of everything else it was'nt even tasty-very bland. Never again.

Outstanding recipe, although it took me a lot longer than 30 minutes. I cooked the vegetables until they caramelized, then added ultra-lean ground beef and browned together. For extra flavor I added some beef concentrate and marjoram. Resist any temptation to use instant mashed; the boiled and drained russets were wonderful. For cheese I used a cheddar and jack blend. Yummy! [P.S. I omitted the onions so that my dogs could eat some.]

Mom used to make this recipe. We loved it--still do. The only thing different was that she included fresh cut green beans with the meat sauce.

This was good, although my beef was rather liquid, and ended up making the mashed potato wet as well. Also, the beef was a bit bland even though i seasoned it with some salt when the recipe didn't even call for it.

Was very tasty but will take note to cook meat and strain before adding to sauce. It was a little greasy due to the lack of straining. I would also use a little less celery and add a little more spice. Makes two nights of dinner for my husband, one year old, visitor and me. Definately a new favorite.

I made the recipe and it turned out great. I used 4 stalks of celery instead of 6 because it seemed like a lot. The consistency of the meat was perfect and it wasn't greasy at all. The potatoes were nice and crispy on the edges. I would highly recommend this recipe and like the idea of using beef broth in place of the water for the meat. I divided up the leftovers into smaller portions to freeze for a later use.

Good dish. Much more Salt and Pepper for flavor (otherwise its rather bland). I also added a tablespoon of minced garlic and substituted the water with chicken stock for added flavor.

The texture of the meat is supposed to be fine, perhaps others mistook it for mush. One last modification I will make next time is to cook the meat and drain the fat separately, then add it to the veggie mixture so as to get rid of some off the excess grease.

Love this, no leftovers. I used instant potatoes (to save time) and added frozen peas came out great. Already have request to make it next week.

This is the worst recipe I have ever made!! I had to throw the whole entire meal in the trash!! And being in a one income family "this is not a good thing". I used ground turkey instead of beef and it turned into total mush! Martha had mentioned that other ground meats could be used but ground turkey is not one of them!!!

My entire family (plus in-laws) LOVED this dish. My husband is very picky (and I have 3 children-3, 5, and 8 yrs). I will make this every other week now. Extra S/P, extra sharp white cheddar. No water.

This looks delicious and I think it would taste great! I'm wondering how it can cost $17 to make? ALDI has great food at less expensive prices.

pretty good!! just make sure to add cup of water first and then add the flour and tomato paste because for me there werent enough juices in pan. my topping didnt crust over either, I think I added too much milk. I added extra salt and pepper and some creole seasoning for spice. Even my picky child ate the veggies. Next time I will add regular cheddar cheese to the beef mix, I think that's what was missing.

..cut me off again! ....and dog will eat good for the next week. Will NOT make again.

..cut off my comment- ...we were very,very disappointed. Very bland, potatoes never crusted. Not greasy in pot, but finished casserole was (maybe from cheese?). Out almost $17, on plus side celery was NOT too much

Well, made this in spite of no response to my quest. about celery amount (other ? mistake as milk in potatoes). Erred by not 1/2ing recipe 1st time; calculated it cost $16-$17 to make

I want to try this recipe but am questioning the amount of celery because it just seems like a lot, though I guess one stalk of celery to one carrot would balance out in the end. Also, could I make this using beef broth instead of the whole milk called for in the original recipe?

Great food, I grew up in England and shepherds pie was a popular meal in our house. I think the original recipe called for lamb not beef, but both are great. I agree with thekiller, I freeze individual portions for future quick and easy meals.

Absolutely. I like to freeze them in single portions and defrost in the fridge. Another tasty idea for leftovers could be spicing it up and rolling some into a burrito maybe with cumin, hot sauce, and guac!

Can this meal be frozen?
