This is the best recipe everrr! I made it today and my husband LOVED it! I changed the beans for corn (which is my husbands favorite) and add bacon bits on top... amazing!! I need to work on presentation, though, it looked like a mix of leftovers ;)

This is a cottage pie as it uses beef not a Shepherds pie which uses lamb. -
This is the best recipe I've tried so far. My son, who is not a fan of this dish, had 2nd helpings & he kept saying it's delicious!! Only difference I did for this recipe: I add red pepper chili flakes becos both husband & myself loves a littles spicyness. I also substitute the canned vege with cauliflower & broccoli as I do not buy canned vege... This recipe is a keeper. Now I can throw away my old recipe & use this permanently... Thank you!!!

This is the BEST recipe out there!!! My husband loves it and I just add a frozen bag of corn instead of the green beans. I have so far made this several times and I just wanted to leave a review on how easy this is to make. The worchester sauce is what I think makes the dish a hit.<br/>Thanks for posting such a fabulous recipe!!! -

Add about 1/4 of sweet baby rays bbq sauce to your meat/veggie mixture to add another amazing kick of flavor!

<p>I lived in Western NY all my life. I love collecting cookbooks and recipes. My favorite cookbooks are the stuffed cougar from richmond, VA and southern living. I love to pick up cookbooks in different areas of the country especially ones put together from homecooks like the fundraiser type. I love to try the recipes that you submit and really thank you all so much for making me a pretty decent cook. I submit recipes i find new, unusual, special...not always on the website so they may look more different then my reviewed recipes... but they are alllll good. give them a try!!!!</p>
