Yummy! What a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes.

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!

This is a go-to for my family. It's quick, easy, I usually have the ingredients on hand and my kids enjoy it.

I liked how the whole dish was cooked on the stovetop rather than a mix of stovetop and oven; it was more convenient. I changed a few things: I used beef broth instead of water and bouillon, and I didn't have Worcestershire sauce so I replaced it with BBQ and hot sauce. Past Shepherd's Pie recipes have been extremely bland so I think the BBQ sauce and hot sauce actually made the recipe more enjoyable for us.

This is really good and simple to make. I served it with a good crusty bread.

I love cooking this recipe, and my husband loves eating it! I much prefer this stovetop version to my old standby which called for putting it in the oven. The first time I made it was good, but it was missing a little something. I always added a bit of dried tarragon to my old recipe, and so I did with this one as well. Perfect!

I do agree with another poster that I might cut the Worcestershire sauce down a bit.

This was just okay. It's a little bland. I think if I make it again I'll add some tomato paste or something to flavor it up.

I've made this recipe so many times that I've lost track. The only thing I do different is I use vegetable or beef stock instead of the boullion and boiling water. This one is one of my favorite go-to's!

This was a very easy and great tasting recipe. I didn't have frozen vegetables so I used canned corn and green beans. It turned out great. I like it even better the next day.

This was such an easy and delicious recipe! I would decrease the amount of Worcestershire sauce. I made the topping with half of the pie with the white potatoes and the other half I used mashed sweet potatoes (just salt, pepper, little butter and milk). The sweet potato side went faster than the traditional potato side. Thank you for this recipe!

Use a deep (3") skillet for this recipe-otherwise it may overflow! Very tasty comfort food.
