I was told to replace every meat loaf recipe that I have ever made (and I have made a ton of them) with this recipe for Shepard's pie. They really liked it. I just added a extra cup of veggies and a shot of soy sauce instead of the Worcestershire sauce which I don't care for. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as my family did. PS.... I am not allowed to make meat loaf ever again. Nobody's recipe!!!

Definitely a keeper! Hubby had 2 servings, so did daughter. Used up all my leftovers, but had to add some instant potatoes, just didn't have enough of those. And instead of cheese, I topped it with French fried onions. Delish!

Good quick meal. I added cheddar cheese to the top of the potatoes. I made it for a late lunch, early dinner.

This was a good quick meal. I added a bit more gravy to the burger mixture and some gravy to the potatoes. We all enjoyed it.

My family and I tried this meal and yummy. When I asked my family if I should make it again, I received answers of yes before I even finished answering the question.We do like extra gravy so I used 3 cans instead of two to have more gravy.

I love this recipe - so easy to make. My family doesn't care for the frozen mixed veggies, so I just chop up a couple of carrots and toss in a few frozen peas for the required veggies. It's a keeper, and really delicious with homemade mashed potatoes!

I use the same basec recipe but once heated through, I top it all with about one cup shredded cheddar cheese and return to oven till cheese melts. Ruta From Cambridge On.
