Instead of using a pastry crust, this recipe creates a savory crust with mashed potatoes. The bacon flavor in the filling is fabulous! Just add a tossed salad or green vegetable and dessert, and you'll have a complete meal that's sure to please your family.—Chris Eschweiler, Dallas, Texas

this dish was okay. my husband really liked it, but I didn't like the flavor that the mexicorn and bacon gave it. Good, but not my fav.

My family loved it! I made this in a casserole dish to accommodate my family's size/appetite and there was none left! They all agreed that I should make this recipe often!

My family loved this recipe. My daughter's especially loved that the crust was also potatoes, rather than most shepherd's pies, where the potatoes are on top. I've made this countless times and there are never any leftovers!

Bacon gives it a great taste!!! Will definitely make it again. Easy to make and my husband loved it, who is very picky eater. Best shepards pie we ever had.

I really enjoyed this BUT I added seasoning which it needed and I also added a drained can of diced tomatoes. For the potato, I used Betty Crocker garlic potato (2 pouches) and that made the work go faster. Don't be afraid to add your own ingredients when cooking.
