This is the best shepard's pie I've ever tasted. It's very quick to make, and I usually have most—if not all—of the ingredients already on hand. Serve with fruit, it's a complete meal.—Tirzah Sandt, San Diego, California

This was quick and easy, but if you like your food a little more 'zesty', like I do, then certainly don't omit using the Worcestershire sauce. I also added a generous dash of salt and black pepper. I didn't take the extra steps of mixing the beef broth and sour cream, so I used a can of mushroom soup instead.

Super easy to make and very hearty on a cold day. Huge hit for the entire family! From youngest to oldest.

This was a wonderful and quick meal! Other than reducing the onion to 1/2 to suit my families tastes I followed the recipe and it turned out great. I'll certainly be making this one again.

I thought it was delicious, didn't change a thing, and followed the recipe as written. It is a keeper!

This is a quick and delicious dinner all in one pot! Love that! I made a few changes to the recipe to suit my family's tastes and this was a meal they really raved about!!! I substituted a package of frozen mixed veggies (thawed) for the corn and peas. I saw other reviewers substitute beef broth for the granules and boiling water and I did the same. I also only used 1 1/2 tsp. worchestshire, based on reviews. Lastly, I added 1 can of diced tomatoes (drained) to add a bit more flavor....it was delicious, kids and hubby all want it again!

I can't quite put my finger on why this wasn't my favorite, but I think I would skip the worcestershire sauce and ketchup and just make a beef broth type gravy to mix in - and also I would probably omit the peas, or put in fewer and add in some carrots. It wasn't bad, but not something I would make again, unless I adjusted it more to my tastes.

I've had different kinds of shephards pie this one was so easy to make and was very tasty had great flavor, the only thing I would change is instead of hamburger meat use corn beef and no onions, this was a great recipe though and will keep it on the list to make again!
