Hearty Shepherd’s Pie
Fresh rosemary adds great flavor to the convenience products used in this comforting recipe. This is great on cold days and makes a very filling meal with just a piece of corn bread. —Melissa Birdsong, Gilbert, South Carolina

Mmm..this is comforting, it tastes fresh & homemade. I made a few easy changes, ended up doubling it & put it into a big corningware dish. It was perfect & took 35 mins to bake. I added 1lb of ground pork & doubled the onion. I used a 1lb bag of frozen peas & carrots & left out the mushrooms. I added 1/4 tsp of better than boullion beef flavor to the water. Doubled the pepper & used shredded cheddar cheese instead of the Parmesan. I did not double the water, salt or rosemary. We thought it was excellent, definately tasted the savory garlic & rosemary flavor along with all the veggies & meat. An adult shepherds pie. Awesome.
This is the best shepherds pie I've ever had. The rosemary really gives it a unique flavor. Very savory. And the mashed potatoes on top were sooo good. My son couldn't wait for it to be done and he gobbled it up!
I was undecided about what to make for dinner & came across this recipe. I changed a few things--made the mashed potatoes, added more water & mixed vegs, no rosemary. It came out delicious & comforting. My son who is a picky eater asked me to make it for him again the next day. If it passes muster with him, it's a winner!
Delicious, easy to make. My fiance and I loved it!!
I added in frozen peas and corn plus I did 1/2 pond each ground beef and pork. What a great comforting meal.
I loved, loved, loved this recipe. I thought all the ingredients went well together. My husband, on the other hand, said it was just ok. I don't think he cared for the flavor of the dried rosemary. Oh well, leaves more for me! The only thing I changed was I used the frozen peas and carrots instead of canned.
I have been looking for a great shepherd's pie recipe for a long time. this one is great! my kids even loved it :) i cant wait to make this again. also i used thyme instead of rosemary
Delicious recipe! I modified it to exclude the rosemary and used cream of potato soup instead. it was a huge hit with the family!
A great way to use up extra mashed potatoes. The whole family enjoyed it.
I loved this recipe. It was so good and easy. I used healthy request soup to lighten it up a bit and a pouch of betty crocker mashed potatoes
